Vladimir Mezentsev 7a515757db gprofng: Update documentation
This patch addresses bugzilla 29521:
Bug 29521 - [docs] man pages are not in the release tarball

The dependence on help2man to create the man pages has been eliminated.
All man pages are now written in Texinfo. Texi2pod and pod2man are used
to generate the man pages from the source.

The user guide has been significantly expanded. It also includes all
the man pages. These are formatted appropriately in the INFO, PDF, and
HTML formats.

The index in the user guide has been enhanced to include an overview
of all options and commands that have been documented so far.

The work on the documentation has not been completed, but this is
a significant step forward.

@ManPageStart{DESCRIPTION}
@c man begin DESCRIPTION
Display the source code listing, or source code interleaved with disassembly code,
as extracted from the target file (an executable, shared object, object file, or a
Java .class file).
For example, this command displays the source code and disassembly listing for a
function called @samp{mxv_core} that is part of object file @samp{mxv.o}:
@smallexample
$ gprofng display src -disasm mxv_core mxv.o
@end smallexample
To list the source code and disassembly for all the functions in this file,
use the following command:
@smallexample
$ gprofng display src -disasm all -1 mxv.o
@end smallexample
The @var{target_file} is the name of an executable, a shared object, an object
file (.o), or a Java .class file.
If no options are given, the source code listing of the @var{target_file}
is shown. This is equivalent to @samp{-source all -1}. If this information
is not available, a message to this extent is printed.

@item -functions

List all the functions from the given object.
@item -source @var{item} @var{tag}
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-source}}
@IndexSubentry{Commands, @code{source}}
@end ifclear
Show the source code for @var{item} in @var{target_file}. The @var{tag}
is used to differentiate in case there are multiple occurences with the same
name.
See the @samp{NOTES} section for the definition of @var{item} and @var{tag}.
@item -disasm @var{item} @var{tag}
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-disasm}}
@IndexSubentry{Commands, @code{disasm}}
@end ifclear
Include the disassembly in the source listing. The default listing does not
include the disassembly. If the source code is not available, show a listing
of the disassembly only.
See the @samp{NOTES} section for the definition of @var{item} and @var{tag}.
@item -outfile @var{filename}
@ifclear man
@IndexSubentry{Options, @code{-outfile}}
@IndexSubentry{Commands, @code{outfile}}
@end ifclear
Write results to file @var{filename}. A dash (-) writes to stdout. This is also
the default. Note that this option only affects those options included to the
right of this option.

@ManPageStart{NOTES}
@c man begin NOTES
Use @var{item} to specify the name of a function, or of a source or object
file that was used to build the executable, or shared object.
The @var{tag} is an index used to determine which item is being referred
to when multiple functions have the same name. It is required, but will
be ignored if not necessary to resolve the function.
The @var{item} may also be specified in the form @samp{function`file`}, in
which case the source or disassembly of the named function in the source
context of the named file will be used.
The special @var{item} and @var{tag} combination @samp{all -1}, is used to
indicate generating the source, or disassembly, for all functions in the
@var{target_file}.
