Dmitri Vereshchagin 10564b1175 tmac/tmac.an: define .MR in a groff compatible way
groff 1.23.0 added .MR to its -man macro package.  The NEWS file states
that the inclusion of the macro "was prompted by its introduction to
Plan 9 from User Space's troff in August 2020."  From d32deab it seems
that the name for Plan 9 from User Space's implementation was suggested
by groff maintainer G. Brandon Robinson.

Not sure if the intention was to make these definitions compatible, but
it would be nice if they were.

Currently, Plan 9 from User Space's .MR expects its second argument to
be parenthesized.  groff's .MR does not.  This results in extra
parentheses appearing in manual references when viewing Plan 9 from User
Space's manual pages on a system using groff.

.TH SRV 4
.SH NAME
srv, 9fs \- start network file service
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B srv
[
.B -an
]
[
.B -k
.I keypattern
]
.I address
[
.I srvname
]
.PP
.B 9fs
.I system
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Srv
dials the given address and initializes the connection to serve the 9P protocol.
It then posts the resulting connection in the current name space
(see
.MR intro 4 )
as
.I srvname
(default
.IR address ).
.PP
The
.B -a
option causes
.I srv
to post a pre-authenticated connection to the file system
.I aname
(by default, the empty string;
see
.IR attach (9p)).
.PP
The
.B -n
option causes
.I srv
to reject authentication attempts by clients,
useful if the remote server is known not to require authentication.
.PP
.I Srv
authenticates over the 9P connection to establish a valid auth fid.
.IR Keypattern ,
if specified, is used to select the key used for authentication.
Client attach requests are rewritten to use the specified
.I aname
and auth fid.
.PP
The
.I 9fs
command executes the
.I srv
necessary to make available the files of
.IR system .
.PP
.I 9fs
recognizes some special names,
such as
.B sources
to make the file server
.I sources.cs.bell-labs.com
available as service
.IR sources .
.I 9fs
is an
.MR rc 1
script; examine it to see what local conventions apply.
.SH EXAMPLES
List the root directory on
.IR sources :
.IP
.EX
9fs sources
9p ls sources
.EE
.PP
Mount a remote file server
.I bootes
on Linux using the kernel 9P mount driver,
with
.I srv
handling authentication:
.IP
.EX
srv -a sources.cs.bell-labs.com sources
sudo mount -t 9p -o trans=unix,uname=$USER,dfltuid=`id -u`,dfltgid=`id -g`
`namespace`/sources /n/sources
