gzip: stdout: Broken pipe

[madskjeldgaard]

Hi, all of a sudden I started getting broken pipe errors:

From this command for example:

 cppman std::list

gzip: stdout: Broken pipe

I'm on MacOS 13.0.1 (22A400) on an M2 macbook

Same issue on M1 pro

gunzip: error writing to output: Broken pipe
gunzip: /Users/aswinvb/.cache/cppman/cppreference.com/std::vector<T,Allocator>::begin
std::vector<T,Allocator>::cbegin.3.gz: uncompress failed

on m2 macbook air for input

cppman vector::begin

You need to install the groff command, it's part of the dependencies.

brew install groff

brew install groff

This fixes it, but it's actually not part of the dependencies on homebrew at least: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/cppman#default

I guess I can send a PR for the brew formula.

Thanks! Maybe also there should be an addition to the README about this dependency? Thanks a lot. really happy it is working again, I'm a big fan of this tool :)

Hi. Is agroff a MacOS-specific thing or is it a typo? There is no agroff on Linux and after 9adce61 cppman is broken on Linux.

[aitjcize]

@glenvt18 sorry that was indeed a typo. Fixed on master.

I'm closing this now as it seems to work fine (for me at least) now. Thanks for the fixes @aitjcize
