+.Sh NAME
+.Nm file.personality
+.Nd pkgconf cross-compile personality file format
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+pkgconf cross-compile personality files provide a useful mechanism for storing
+various information about system toolchains.
+Information stored by
+.Nm .personality
+files include information about paths used by a cross-compile toolchain, such as
+the sysroot directory and default include and library paths.  pkgconf uses this
+information to determine what information is necessary to use libraries.
+.\"
+.Ss FILE SYNTAX
+The
+.Nm .personality
+file follows a format inspired by RFC822.
+Comments are prefixed by a pound sign, hash sign or octothorpe (#), and variable
+assignment is similar to POSIX shell.
+Properties are defined using RFC822-style stanzas.
+.\"
+.Ss PROPERTIES
+.\"
+Properties are set using RFC822-style stanzas which consist of a keyword, followed
+by a colon (:) and then the value the property should be set to.
+Variable substitution is always performed regardless of property type.
+.Pp
+There are two types of property:
+.\"
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.\"
+.It Literal
+The property will be set to the text of the value.
+.\"
+.It Fragment List
+The property will be set to a list of fragments parsed from the text.
+The input text must be in a format that is suitable for passing to a POSIX
+shell without any shell expansions after variable substitution has been done.
+.\"
+.El
+.Ss PROPERTY KEYWORDS
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.\"
+.It Triplet
+The triplet used by the cross-compile toolchain.
+(mandatory; literal)
+.It SysrootDir
+The directory used by the system root of the cross-compile toolchain.
+(mandatory; literal)
+.It DefaultSearchPaths
+A list of directories to look for

+files in.
+(mandatory; fragment list)
+.It SystemIncludePaths
+A list of directories that are included by default in the search path for
+include files.
+(mandatory; fragment list)
+.It SystemLibraryPaths
+A list of directories that are included by default in the search path for
+libraries.
