|
|
.LO 1
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
manpath \- determine user's search path for man pages
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
manpath [\-q]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
manpath tries to determine the user's manpath from a set of system
|
|
defaults and the user's
|
|
.B PATH ,
|
|
echoing the result to the standard output. Warnings and errors are
|
|
written to the standard error.
|
|
If a directory in the user's path is not listed in the manpath.config
|
|
file, manpath looks for the subdirectories man or MAN. If they exist,
|
|
they are added to the search path.
|
|
.PP
|
|
manpath is used by
|
|
.B man
|
|
to determine the search path, so user's normally don't need to set the
|
|
.B MANPATH
|
|
environment variable directly.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS

|

|
|
echoes its value on the standard output and issues a warning on the

|
standard error.
