# man.conf from @version@ # # For more information about this file, see the man pages man(1) # and man.conf(5). # # This file is read by man to configure the default manpath (also used # when MANPATH contains an empty substring), to find out where the cat # pages corresponding to given man pages should be stored, # and to map each PATH element to a manpath element. # It may also record the pathname of the man binary. [This is unused.] # The format is: # # MANBIN pathname # MANPATH manpath_element [corresponding_catdir] # MANPATH_MAP path_element manpath_element # # If no catdir is given, it is assumed to be equal to the mandir # (so that this dir has both man1 etc. and cat1 etc. subdirs). # This is the traditional Unix setup. # Certain versions of the FSSTND recommend putting formatted versions # of /usr/.../man/manx/page.x into /var/catman/.../catx/page.x. # The keyword FSSTND will cause this behaviour. # Certain versions of the FHS recommend putting formatted versions of # /usr/.../share/man/[locale/]manx/page.x into # /var/cache/man/.../[locale/]catx/page.x. # The keyword FHS will cause this behaviour (and overrides FSSTND). # Explicitly given catdirs override. # @fsstnd@FSSTND @fhs@FHS # # This file is also read by man in order to find how to call nroff, less, etc., # and to determine the correspondence between extensions and decompressors. # # MANBIN /usr/local/bin/man # # Every automatically generated MANPATH includes these fields # MANPATH /usr/share/man MANPATH /usr/local/share/man MANPATH /usr/X11/man # # Uncomment if you want to include one of these by default # # MANPATH /opt/*/man # MANPATH /usr/lib/*/man # MANPATH /usr/share/*/man # MANPATH /usr/kerberos/man # # Set up PATH to MANPATH mapping # # If people ask for "man foo" and have "/dir/bin/foo" in their PATH # and the docs are found in "/dir/man", then no mapping is required. # # The below mappings are superfluous when the right hand side is # in the mandatory manpath already, but will keep man from statting # lots of other nearby files and directories. # MANPATH_MAP /bin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /sbin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/sbin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/X11/bin /usr/X11/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin/X11 /usr/X11/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin/mh /usr/share/man # # NOAUTOPATH keeps man from automatically adding directories that look like # manual page directories to the path. # #NOAUTOPATH # # NOCACHE keeps man from creating cache pages ("cat pages") # (generally one enables/disable cat page creation by creating/deleting # the directory they would live in - man never does mkdir) # #NOCACHE # # Useful paths - note that COL should not be defined when # NROFF is defined as "groff -Tascii" or "groff -Tlatin1"; # not only is it superfluous, but it actually damages the output. # For use with utf-8, NROFF should be "nroff -mandoc" without -T option. # (Maybe - but today I need -Tlatin1 to prevent double conversion to utf8.) # # If you have a new troff (version 1.18.1?) and its colored output # causes problems, add the -c option to TROFF, NROFF, JNROFF. # TROFF @troff@ NROFF @nroff@ JNROFF @jnroff@ EQN @eqn@ NEQN @neqn@ JNEQN @jneqn@ TBL @tbl@ @nocol@COL @col@ REFER @refer@ PIC @pic@ VGRIND @vgrind@ GRAP @grap@ PAGER @pager@ BROWSER @browser@ HTMLPAGER @htmlpager@ CAT @cat@ # # The command "man -a xyzzy" will show all man pages for xyzzy. # When CMP is defined man will try to avoid showing the same # text twice.
