NAME¶

backend-spec - interface between jw and its backends

DESCRIPTION¶

jw(1) calls backends like backends/html to do the "real" conversion work. The backend gets all necessary data delivered via environment variables ready to use.

This documentation describes those environment variables.

The backend is run in the directory where the output files are to be created. It should return 0 if there weren't any problem, and return a positive value otherwise.

SGML_FILE_NAME

The bare name of the source file

SGML_FILE

SGML_JADE
