one is much more intelligent, not only that it would accept multiple man page locations, it also behaves like ``make'' in that it will only deal with cat pages that are out of date (by default). Wolfram also wrote a man page for it. Submitted by: wosch@cs.tu-berlin.de (Wolfram Schneider)

|
|
.Xr man 1
|
|
is a setuid program. Be careful that user
|
|
.Sq man
|
|
has write permissions to the catman directories.
|
|
|
|
.Nm Catman
|
|
does not check for any
|
|
.Sq .so
|
|
in man page sources. Use hard or symlinks
|
|
to avoid redundant formatted man pages.
