        The <varname>DOCENTRY</varname> parameter specifies the
ba86a3
        documentation entry you want to process.  It can be provided
ba86a3
        one or more times in the form
ba86a3
        MANUAL:PART:CHAPTER:SECTION or
ba86a3
        MANUAL::CHAPTER:SECTION based on whether the
ba86a3
        manual documentation backend you are using supports
ba86a3
        structuring through parts or not. When
2b4826
        <varname>DOCENTRY</varname> parameter is not provided,
2b4826
        <quote>&TCAR; Repository File System</quote> documentation
2b4826
        manual is used as default value.

        To determine the documentation format to use, when new
541cb9
        documentation manuals are created and no configuration file is
541cb9
        available, the <function>help</function> functionality request
541cb9
        you to enter one of the supported documentation formats and
541cb9
        then, uses it to create the documentation manual. Once the
541cb9
        documentation manual is created, the document configuration
541cb9
        file is available inside the manual directory structure and
541cb9
        used to retrive the document format information, instead.
