|
.Nm
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
tries to determine the user's manpath from a set of system
|
|
defaults and the user's
|
|
.Ev PATH ,
|
|
echoing the result to the standard output.
|
|
Warnings and errors are written to the standard error.
|
|
If a directory in the user's path is not listed in the
|
|
.Pa %manpath_config_file%
|
|
file,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
looks for the subdirectories
|
|
.Pa man
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa MAN .
|
|
If they exist, they are added to the search path.
|
|
If they do not exist, but the directory ends in
|
|
.Pa /bin ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
replaces
|
|
.Pa /bin
|
|
with
|
|
.Pa /man
|
|
and checks if that directory exists.
|
|
If it exists, it is added to the search path.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used by
|
|
.Xr man 1
|
|
to determine the search path, so users normally do not need to set the
|
|
.Ev MANPATH
|
|
environment variable directly.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Output additional debug information.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Output man locales list (if it exists).
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Operate quietly.
|
|
Only echo the final result.
