     wizd

DESCRIPTION
     wizd automatically checks and corrects spelling errors, usage problems
     with mdoc(7) macros, and other typographical errors in man pages.

     wizd is invoked by any cvs(1) commit to a man page.

     wizd also performs periodic sanity checks on the distribution set lists.
     E-mail alerts will be triggered if the build installs files that are
     marked as obsolete and therefore get automatically removed.

              format.
