-.Dt CRONTAB 1
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm crontab
-.Nd maintain crontab files for individual users (V3)
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Op Fl u Ar user
-.Ar file
-.Nm
-.Op Fl u Ar user
-{
-.Fl l |
-.Fl r |
-.Fl e
-}
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-utility is the program used to install, deinstall or list the tables
-used to drive the
-.Xr cron 8
-daemon in Vixie Cron.
-Each user can have their own crontab, and though
-these are files in
-.Pa /var ,
-they are not intended to be edited directly.
-.Pp
-If the
-.Pa allow
-file exists, then you must be listed therein in order to be allowed to use
-this command.
-If the
-.Pa allow
-file does not exist but the
-.Pa deny
-file does exist, then you must
-.Em not
-be listed in the
-.Pa deny
-file in order to use this command.
-If neither of these files exists, then
-depending on site-dependent configuration parameters, only the super user
-will be allowed to use this command, or all users will be able to use this
-command.
-The format of these files is one username per line,
-with no leading or trailing whitespace.
-Lines of other formats will be ignored,
-and so can be used for comments.
-.Pp
-The first form of this command is used to install a new crontab from some
-named file or standard input if the pseudo-filename
-.Sq Fl
-is given.
-.Pp
-The following options are available:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl u
-Specify the name of the user whose crontab is to be
-tweaked.
-If this option is not given,
-.Nm
-examines
-.Dq your
-crontab, i.e., the crontab of the person executing the
-command.
-Note that
-.Xr su 1
-can confuse
-.Nm
-and that if you are running inside of
-.Xr su 1
-you should always use the
-.Fl u
-option for safety's sake.
-.It Fl l
-Display the current crontab on standard output.
-.It Fl r
-Remove the current crontab.
-.It Fl e
-Edit the current crontab using the editor specified by
-the
-.Ev VISUAL
-or
-.Ev EDITOR
-environment variables.
-The specified editor
-.Em must
-edit the file in place;
-any editor that unlinks the file and recreates it cannot be used.
-After you exit
-from the editor, the modified crontab will be installed automatically.
-.El
-.Sh FILES
-.Bl -tag -width /var/cron/allow -compact
-.It Pa /var/cron/allow
-List of users allowed to use crontab
-.It Pa /var/cron/deny
-List of users prohibited from using crontab
-.It Pa /var/cron/tabs
-Directory for personal crontab files
-.El
-.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
-A fairly informative usage message appears if you run it with a bad command
-line.
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr crontab 5 ,
-.Xr cron 8
-.Sh STANDARDS
-The
-.Nm
-command conforms to
-.St -p1003.2
-with the exception that the dangerous variant of calling
-.Nm
-without a file name in the first form of the command is not allowed by
-this implementation.
-The pseudo-filename
-.Sq Fl
-must be specified to read from standard input.
-The new command syntax
-differs from previous versions of Vixie Cron, as well as from the classic
-SVR3 syntax.
