NAME

man

 - format and display the on-line manual pages

 

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The options are as follows:

-M path

Specify an alternate manpath. By default, uses manpath(1) (which is built into the binary) to determine the path to search. This option overrides the MANPATH environment variable.

-P pager

Specify which pager to use. By default, uses ``more -s '' This option overrides the PAGER environment variable.

-S list

List is a colon separated list of manual sections to search. This option overrides the MANSECT environment variable.

-a

By default, will exit after displaying the first manual page it finds. Using this option forces to display all the manual pages that match name not just the first.

-d

Do not actually display the man pages, but do print gobs of debugging information.

-f

Equivalent to whatis

-h

Print a help message and exit.

-k

Equivalent to apropos

-m arch [: machine ]

As some manual pages are intended only for specific architectures and machine types, searches any subdirectories, with the same name as the current machine type and architecture, in every directory which it searches. Machine specific areas are checked before architecture specific areas, and architecture specific areas are checked before general areas. For example, for ``i386:pc98 '' the following subdirectories will be searched for section 8 manpages, in order: man8/pc98, man8/i386 and man8

The current machine type may be overridden using this option or by setting the environment variable MACHINE to the name of a specific machine. The current architecture may be overridden using this option or by setting the environment variable MACHINE_ARCH to the name of a specific architecture. This option overrides the MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH environment variables. A machine component, if omitted, defaults to arch

-o

Look for original, non-localized manpages only.

By default, searches for a localized manpage in a set of locale subdirectories of each manpath(1) component.

Locale name is taken from the first of three environment variables with a nonempty value: LC_ALL , LC_CTYPE or LANG in the specified order.

If the value could not be determined, or is not a valid locale name, then only non-localized manpage will be looked up.

Otherwise, will search in the following subdirectories, in the order of precedence:

<lang> _ <country> . <charset>

<lang> . <charset>

en . <charset>

For example, for the ``de_DE.ISO8859-1 '' locale, will search in the following subdirectories of the /usr/share/man manpath component:

/usr/share/man/de_DE.ISO8859-1

/usr/share/man/de.ISO8859-1

/usr/share/man/en.ISO8859-1

Finally, if the search of localized manpage fails, it will be looked up in the default /usr/share/man directory.

-p string

Specify the sequence of preprocessors to run before nroff(1) or troff(1). Not all installations will have a full set of preprocessors. Some of the preprocessors and the letters used to designate them are: eqn (e) grap (g) pic (p) tbl (t) vgrind (v) refer (r) This option overrides the MANROFFSEQ environment variable.

-t

Use ``/usr/bin/groff -S -man '' to format the manual page, passing the output to stdout. The default output format of groff(1) is Postscript, but see the manual page of groff(1) for ways to pick an alternate format.

Depending on the selected format and the availability of printing devices, the output may need to be passed through some filter or another before being printed.

-w

Do not actually display the man pages, but do print the location(s) of the files that would be formatted or displayed.

ENVIRONMENT

LC_ALL , LC_CTYPE , LANG

These variables specify the preferred language for manual pages. (See the -o option above.)

MACHINE

If MACHINE is set, its value is used to override the current machine type when searching machine specific subdirectories.

MACHINE_ARCH

If MACHINE_ARCH is set, its value is used to override the current architecture when searching architecture specific subdirectories.

MANPATH

If MANPATH is set, its value is used as the path to search for manual pages.

MANROFFSEQ

If MANROFFSEQ is set, its value is used to determine the set of preprocessors run before running nroff(1) or troff(1). By default, pages are passed through the table preprocessor (tbl(1) ) before nroff(1).

MANSECT

If MANSECT is set, its value is used to determine which manual sections to search.

PAGER

If PAGER is set, its value is used as the name of the program to use to display the man page. By default, ``more -s '' is used.

EXAMPLES

Normally, to look at the relevant manpage information for ``getopt '' one would use:

"man getopt"

However, when referring to a specific section of the manual, such as getopt(3), one would use:

"man 3 getopt"
