JHS updated - man tool

[Eric Iverson]

JHS has been updated. There are some changes in the experimental man tool.

   man'printscript'
   man'jhbr' NB. works for nouns

   man'dir'
   base9install_jman_'' NB. install base9 source
   man'dir' NB. edit... lines for stdlib.ijs and dir.ijs

   man'man'

The man tool works in Jqt and jconsole.

start Jqt or jconsole
  load'~addons/ide/jhs/extra/man.ijs'
  man'frename'

With beta 12 installed on everything I've tested,

the man verb works on Windows 11, but on

Android 12 and 16 I get:

   load '~addons/ide/jhs/extra/man.ijs'

   base9install_jman_ ''

base9 library installed in ~system

   man 'dir'

|domain error in jpcre2_compile, executing monad '"libpcre2-8.so" pcre2_compile_8 * *c x i *i *x...& ...

|   lastcomp=:0 pick rc=.    jpcre2_compile(,y);(#y);flg;msg;off;<<0

I think, for android, the library should be libjpcre2.so

[Paul Jackson]

Thanks, that fixed both of my Android systems. It took a while as I didn't find the file that contains those verbs. Instead, I patched the running system until it worked. I found seven errors and saved the fixes as a script. 

   man 'jpcre2_match'
   jpcre2_match_jregex_

   edit'/storage/emulated/0/Documents/Apps/FixMan.ijs
jpcre2_match_jregex_=:'"libjpcre2.so" pcre2_match_8 i * *c x x i * *'&(15!:0)

When I wrote the line above I thought the windows version might might find the source file,  unfortunately it didn't.

   man 'jpcre2_match'
   jpcre2_match_jregex_
   edit'C:\Program Files\J9.7\system\main\regex.ijs'
