.Dt MAN.CONF 5
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm man.conf
|
|
.Nd
|
|
.Xr man 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr manpath 1
|
|
configuration files
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file is used to configure the manual search path, locales, and utility set for
|
|
.Xr man 1
|
|
and its related utilities.
|
|
During initialization,
|
|
.Xr man 1
|
|
reads the configuration files located at
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /etc/man.conf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The files contained in
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf
|
|
are intended to be used by the
|
|
.Xr ports 7
|
|
system for extending the manual set to support additional paths and locales.
|
|
.Pa /etc/man.conf
|
|
is intended to be used by the local administrator to set additional policy.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently supported configuration variables include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 12n -offset indent
|
|
.It MANCONFIG
|
|
Overrides the default location to import additional manual configuration files.
|
|
Defaults to
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf .
|
|
.It MANPATH
|
|
Adds the specified directory to the manual search path.
|
|
.It MANLOCALE
|
|
Indicates support is available for the given locale.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For pages in a given language, overriding the default toolset for
|
|
display is supported via the following definitions:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 12n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It EQN Ns _ Ns Va LANG
|
|
.It NROFF Ns _ Ns Va LANG
|
|
.It PIC Ns _ Ns Va LANG
|
|
.It TBL Ns _ Ns Va LANG
|
|
.It TROFF Ns _ Ns Va LANG
|
|
.It REFER Ns _ Ns Va LANG
|
|
.It VGRIND Ns _ Ns Va LANG
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx EXAMPLES
|
|
section for how to use these variables.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
The parser used for this utility is very basic and only supports comment
|
|
characters (#) at the beginning of a line.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf" -compact
|
|
.It Pa /etc/man.conf
|
|
System configuration file.
|
|
.It Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf
|
|
Local configuration files.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
A perl port that needs to install additional manual pages outside of the
|
|
default location could install a file in
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/perl.conf
|
|
with the following contents:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# Add perl man pages to search path
|
|
MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man
|
|
MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/perl/man
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A Japanese localization port could install a custom toolset and include a
|
|
file in
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/ja-man-doc.conf
|
|
with the following contents:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# Setup Japanese toolset
|
|
MANLOCALE ja_JP.eucJP
|
|
EQN_JA /usr/local/bin/geqn
|
|
PIC_JA /usr/local/bin/gpic
|
|
TBL_JA /usr/local/bin/gtbl
|
|
NROFF_JA /usr/local/bin/groff -man -dlang=ja_JP.eucJP
|
|
TROFF_JA /usr/local/bin/groff -man -dlang=ja_JP.euc.jp
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the system administrator decides to override the
|
|
.Va LOCALBASE
|
|
.Xr make 1
|
|
variable causing all
|
|
.Xr ports 7
|
|
to be installed into
|
|
.Pa /opt
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Pa /usr/local ,
|
|
specifying the following in
|
|
.Pa /etc/man.conf
|
|
will accommodate this change:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# Look for additional configuration files
|
|
MANCONFIG /opt/etc/man.d/*.conf
