+
+*sudo aptitude install manpages-dev
+
+Now you can do something like:
+
+*man 3 printf
+
+and receive a man page providing comprehensive information about how to use the printf function.

+
+Its value is a colon-delimited list of sections and it is used to determine which manual sections to search and in what order.
+
+For example :
+
+*export MANSECT="3:1:5:2:4:8:9:7:6"
