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 +.TP +.B \-\^q +Operate quietly.
