batch/woman cache rebuild

batch/woman cache rebuild

[Mike Ballard]

I'm trying to use "emacs --batch..." to regenerate woman cache but it
always stops at "Manual entry" waiting for me to enter something (or hit
\C-c); I need to it exit on its own.

I've tried many numbers of these:

    emacs --batch --funcall=woman
    emacs --batch -l woman.elc --funcall=??
    emacs --batch -l woman.elc --execute=??


How can I make woman regenerate its cache and exit after doing so (instead
of regenerating then waiting for user to type a man entry)?

I also tried a number of these:

    emacs --batch --funcall=woman -f keyboard-quit
    emacs --batch --funcall=woman -f Man-quit
    emacs --batch --funcall=woman -f Man-kill

etc...

emacs --batch --eval '(woman "bash" t)' -kill

Bye, Reiner.
