MANPATH(1) Manual pager utils MANPATH(1)
manpath - determine search path for manual pages
manpath [-qgdc?V] [-m system[,...]] [-C file]
If $MANPATH is set, manpath will simply display its contents and
issue a warning. If not, manpath will determine a suitable
manual page hierarchy search path and display the results.
The colon-delimited path is determined using information gained
from the man-db configuration file – (/usr/local/etc/man_db.conf)
and the user's environment.
-q, --quiet
Do not issue warnings.
-d, --debug
Print debugging information.
-c, --catpath
Produce a catpath as opposed to a manpath. Once the
manpath is determined, each path element is converted to
its relative catpath.
-g, --global
Produce a manpath consisting of all paths named as
"global" within the man-db configuration file.
-m system[,...], --systems=system[,...]
If this system has access to other operating systems'
manual hierarchies, this option can be used to include
them in the output of manpath. To include NewOS's manual
page hierarchies use the option -m NewOS.
The system specified can be a combination of comma
delimited operating system names. To include the native
operating system's manual page hierarchies, the system
name man must be included in the argument string. This
option will override the $SYSTEM environment variable.
-C file, --config-file=file
Use this user configuration file rather than the default
of ~/.manpath.
-?, --help
Print a help message and exit.
--usage
Print a short usage message and exit.
-V, --version
Display version information.
MANPATH
If $MANPATH is set, manpath displays its value rather than
determining it on the fly.
See the SEARCH PATH section of manpath(5) for the default
behaviour and details of how this environment variable is
handled.
SYSTEM If $SYSTEM is set, it will have the same effect as if it
had been specified as the argument to the -m option.
/usr/local/etc/man_db.conf
man-db configuration file.
