manpath !!!manpath NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS ENVIRONMENT FILES SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME manpath - determine search path for manual pages !!SYNOPSIS __manpath__ [[__-qgdc__] [[__-m__ ''system''[[,...]] !!DESCRIPTION If $__MANPATH__ is set, __manpath__ will simply display its contents and issue a warning. If not, __manpath__ will determine a suitable manual page hierarchy search path and display the results. The colon-delimited path is determined using information gained from the man_db configuration file - (''/etc/manpath.config'') and the user's environment. !!OPTIONS __-q, --quiet__ Do not issue warnings. __-d, --debug__ Produce debugging information. __-c, --catpath__ Produce a catpath as opposed to a manpath. Once the manpath is determined, each path element is converted to its relative catpath. __-g, --global__ Produce a manpath consisting of all paths named as `global' within the man_db configuration file. __-m__ ''system''[[,...]__, --systems=__''system''[[,...] If this system has access to other operating system's manual hierarchies, this option can be used to include them in the output of __manpath__. To include NewOS's manual page hierarchies use the option __-m NewOS__. The ''system'' specified can be a combination of comma delimited operating system names. To include the native operating system's manual page hierarchies, the system name __man__ must be included in the argument string. This option will override the $__SYSTEM__ environment variable. __-h, --help__ Print a help message and exit. __-V, --version__ Display version and author information. !!ENVIRONMENT __MANPATH__ If $__MANPATH__ is set, __manpath__ displays its value rather than determining it on the fly. If $__MANPATH__ is prefixed by a colon, then the value of the variable is appended to the list determined from the content of the configuration files. If the colon comes at the end of the value in the variable, then the determined list is appended to the content of the variable. If the value of the variable contains a double colon (__::__), then the determined list is inserted in the middle of the value, between the two colons. __SYSTEM__ If $__SYSTEM__ is set, it will have the same effect as if it had been specified as the argument to the __-m__ option. !!FILES ''/etc/manpath.config'' System configuration file. !!SEE ALSO apropos(1), whatis(1), man(1). !!AUTHOR Wilf.
