+# Compress man pages in ${mandir} and info pages in ${infodir}

+# 1. The doc will be compressed to gz format by default.

+# in ${DOC_COMPRESS} but in ${DOC_COMPRESS_LIST} to the format
+# of ${DOC_COMPRESS} policy

+# local.conf, such as:
+# DOC_COMPRESS_LIST_append = ' abc'
+# DOC_COMPRESS = 'abc'
+# DOC_COMPRESS_CMD[abc] = 'abc compress cmd ***'
+# DOC_DECOMPRESS_CMD[abc] = 'abc decompress cmd ***'
