This version knows -about the MANPATH and PAGER environment variables, so you can have -your own set(s) of personal man pages and choose whatever program you -like to display the formatted pages. If section is specified, man -only looks in that section of the manual. You may also specify the -order to search the sections for entries and which preprocessors to -run on the source files via command line options or environment -variables. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.B \-\^M " path" -Specify an alternate manpath. By default, man uses -.B manpath -to determine the path to search. This option overrides the -.B MANPATH -environment variable. -.TP -.B \-\^P " pager" -Specify which pager to use. By default, man uses -.B /usr/local/bin/less -sC, -This option overrides the -.B PAGER -environment variable. -.TP -.B \-\^S " list" -List is a colon separated list of manual sections to search. -This option overrides the -.B MANSECT -environment variable. -.TP -.B \-\^a -By default, man will exit after displaying the first manual page it -finds. Using this option forces man to display all the manual pages -that match -.B name, -not just the first. -.TP -.B \-\^d -Don't actually display the man pages, but do print gobs of debugging -information. -.TP -.B \-\^f -Equivalent to -.B whatis. -.TP -.B \-\^h -Print a one line help message and exit. -.TP -.B \-\^k -Equivalent to -.B apropos. -.TP -.B \-\^m " system" -Specify an alternate set of man pages to search based on the system -name given. -.TP -.B \-\^p " string" -Specify the sequence of preprocessors to run before nroff or troff. -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 -.B MANROFFSEQ -environment variable. -.TP -.B \-\^t -Use -.B /usr/bin/groff -Tps -man -to format the manual page, passing the output to -.B stdout. -The output from -.B /usr/bin/groff -Tps -man -may need to be passed through some filter or another before being -printed. -.TP -.B \-\^w -Don't actually display the man pages, but do print the location(s) of -the files that would be formatted or displayed. -.SH ENVIRONMENT -.TP \w'MANROFFSEQ\ \ 'u -.B MANPATH -If -.B MANPATH -is set, its value is used as the path to search for manual pages. -.TP -.B MANROFFSEQ -If -.B MANROFFSEQ -is set, its value is used to determine the set of preprocessors run -before running nroff or troff. By default, pages are passed through -the table preprocessor before nroff. -.TP -.B MANSEC -If -.B MANSEC -is set, its value is used to determine which manual sections to search. -.TP -.B PAGER -If -.B PAGER -is set, its value is used as the name of the program to use to display -the man page. By default, -.B /usr/local/bin/less -sC -is used. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -apropos(1), whatis(1), manpath(1), less(1), groff(1). -.SH BUGS -The -.B \-t -option only works if a troff-like program is installed. |
