# manpages Processing Instruction Reference

## Introduction

This is generated reference documentation for all user-specifiable processing instructions (PIs) in the DocBook XSL stylesheets for manpages output.

You add these PIs at particular points in a document to cause specific “exceptions” to formatting/output behavior. To make global changes in formatting/output behavior across an entire document, it’s better to do it by setting an appropriate stylesheet parameter (if there is one).

dbman_funcsynopsis-style Specifies presentation style for a funcsynopsis.

    dbman funcsynopsis-style="kr"|"ansi"

### Description

Use the dbman funcsynopsis-style PI as a child of a funcsynopsis or anywhere within a funcsynopsis to control the presentation style for output of all funcprototype instances within that funcsynopsis.

### Parameters

funcsynopsis-style="kr"

  Displays the funcprototype in K&R style

funcsynopsis-style="ansi"

  Displays the funcprototype in ANSI style
