Description
Looking at e.g., /usr/share/man/man1/v.net.path.1grass.gz
Emacs has a command
r runs the command Man-follow-manual-reference, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘man.el’.
It is bound to r, <menu-bar> <Man> <Follow Reference...>.
(Man-follow-manual-reference REFERENCE)
Get one of the manpages referred to in the "SEE ALSO" section. Specify which REFERENCE to use; default is based on word at point.
But it can't deal with man pages with non-standard
SEE ALSO
v.segment, v.split, v.to.rast, v.to.db
It needs something like (man cat:)
SEE ALSO
tac(1)
Therefore it is important that the man pages say
SEE ALSO
v.segment(1grass), v.split(1grass), v.to.rast(1grass), v.to.db(1grass)
To implement that, a change in this code is needed:
