DESCRIPTION
The
utility
formats and displays the on-line manual pages.
This version knows
about the
MANPATH
and
PAGER
environment variables, so you can have
your own set(s) of personal man pages and choose whatever program you
like to display the formatted pages.
If
section
is specified,
only looks in that section of the manual.
You may also specify the
order to search the sections for entries and which preprocessors to
run on the source files via command line options or environment
variables.
If enabled by the system administrator, formatted man
pages will also be compressed with the
``
/usr/bin/gzip -c
''
command to save space.
The options are as follows:
- -M path
-
Specify an alternate manpath.
By default,
uses
manpath(1)
(which is built into the
binary)
to determine the path to search.
This option overrides the
MANPATH
environment variable.
- -P pager
-
Specify which pager to use.
By default,
uses
``more -s
''
This option overrides the
PAGER
environment variable.
- -S list
-
List is a colon separated list of manual sections to search.
This option overrides the
MANSECT
environment variable.
- -a
-
By default,
will exit after displaying the first manual page it
finds.
Using this option forces
to display all the manual pages
that match
name
not just the first.
- -d
-
Do not actually display the man pages, but do print gobs of debugging
information.
- -f
-
Equivalent to
whatis
- -h
-
Print a help message and exit.
- -k
-
Equivalent to
apropos
- -m arch [: machine
]
-
As some manual pages are intended only for specific
architectures and machine types,
searches any subdirectories,
with the same name as the current machine type and architecture,
in every directory which it searches.
Machine specific areas are checked before architecture specific areas,
and architecture specific areas are checked before general areas.
For example, for
``i386:pc98
''
the following subdirectories will be searched for section 8
manpages, in order:
man8/pc98, man8/i386
and
man8
The current machine type may be overridden using this option
or by setting the environment variable
MACHINE
to the name of a specific machine.
The current architecture may be overridden using this option
or by setting the environment variable
MACHINE_ARCH
to the name of a specific architecture.
This option overrides the
MACHINE
and
MACHINE_ARCH
environment variables.
A
machine
component, if omitted, defaults to
arch
- -o
-
Look for original, non-localized manpages only.
By default,
searches for a localized manpage
in a set of locale subdirectories of each
manpath(1)
component.
Locale name is taken from the first of three environment variables
with a nonempty value:
LC_ALL , LC_CTYPE
or
LANG
in the specified order.
If the value could not be determined, or is not a valid locale name,
then only non-localized manpage will be looked up.
Otherwise,
will search in the following subdirectories, in the order of precedence:
- <lang> _ <country> . <charset>
-
- <lang> . <charset>
-
- en . <charset>
-
For example, for the
``de_DE.ISO8859-1
''
locale,
will search in the following subdirectories of the
/usr/share/man
manpath component:
- /usr/share/man/de_DE.ISO8859-1
-
- /usr/share/man/de.ISO8859-1
-
- /usr/share/man/en.ISO8859-1
-
Finally,
if the search of localized manpage fails,
it will be looked up in the default
/usr/share/man
directory.
- -p string
-
Specify the sequence of preprocessors to run before
nroff(1)
or
troff(1).
Not all installations will have a full set of preprocessors.
Some of the preprocessors and the letters used to designate them are:
eqn (e)
grap (g)
pic (p)
tbl (t)
vgrind (v)
refer (r)
This option overrides the
MANROFFSEQ
environment variable.
- -t
-
Use
``/usr/bin/groff -S -man
''
to format the manual page, passing the output to stdout.
The default output format of
groff(1)
is Postscript, but see the manual page of
groff(1)
for ways to pick an alternate format.
Depending on the selected format and the availability of printing
devices, the output
may need to be passed through some filter or another before being
printed.
- -w
-
Do not actually display the man pages, but do print the location(s) of
the files that would be formatted or displayed.
ENVIRONMENT
- LC_ALL , LC_CTYPE , LANG
-
These variables specify the preferred language for manual pages.
(See the
-o
option above.)
- MACHINE
-
If
MACHINE
is set, its value is used to override the current machine type
when searching machine specific subdirectories.
- MACHINE_ARCH
-
If
MACHINE_ARCH
is set, its value is used to override the current architecture
when searching architecture specific subdirectories.
- MANPATH
-
If
MANPATH
is set, its value is used as the path to search for manual pages.
- MANROFFSEQ
-
If
MANROFFSEQ
is set, its value is used to determine the set of preprocessors run
before running
nroff(1)
or
troff(1).
By default, pages are passed through
the table preprocessor
(tbl(1)
)
before
nroff(1).
- MANSECT
-
If
MANSECT
is set, its value is used to determine which manual sections to search.
- PAGER
-
If
PAGER
is set, its value is used as the name of the program to use to display
the man page.
By default,
``more -s
''
is used.
EXAMPLES
Normally, to look at the relevant manpage information for
``getopt
''
one would use:
"man getopt"
However, when referring to a specific section of the manual,
such as
getopt(3),
one would use:
"man 3 getopt"

program is installed.
