Fri Apr 26 04:58:01 CST 2024 27158 Generated automatically from man.conf.in by the configure script. man.conf from man-1.6f For more information about this file, see the man pages man(1) and man.conf(5). This file is read by man to configure the default manpath (also used when MANPATH contains an empty substring), to find out where the cat pages corresponding to given man pages should be stored, and to map each PATH element to a manpath element. It may also record the pathname of the man binary. [This is unused.] The format is: MANBIN pathname MANPATH manpath_element [corresponding_catdir] MANPATH_MAP path_element manpath_element FSSTND FHS This file is also read by man in order to find how to call nroff, less, etc., and to determine the correspondence between extensions and decompressors. FHS MANBIN /usr/local/bin/man Every automatically generated MANPATH includes these fields MANPATH /usr/man MANPATH MANPATH /usr/local/share/man MANPATH /usr/X11R6/man Uncomment if you want to include one of these by default MANPATH /usr/share/*/man MANPATH /usr/kerberos/man Set up PATH to MANPATH mapping If people ask for "man foo" and have "/dir/bin/foo" in their PATH and the docs are found in "/dir/man", then no mapping is required. The below mappings are superfluous when the right hand side is in the mandatory manpath already, but will keep man from statting lots of other nearby files and directories. MANPATH_MAP /bin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /sbin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin/mh /usr/share/man NOAUTOPATH keeps man from automatically adding directories that look like manual page directories to the path. NOAUTOPATH NOCACHE keeps man from creating cache pages ("cat pages") (generally one enables/disable cat page creation by creating/deleting the directory they would live in - man never does mkdir) NOCACHE Useful paths - note that COL should not be defined when NROFF is defined as "groff -Tascii" or "groff -Tlatin1"; not only is it superfluous, but it actually damages the output. For use with utf-8, NROFF should be "nroff -mandoc" without -T option. (Maybe - but today I need -Tlatin1 to prevent double conversion to utf8.) If you have a new troff (version 1.18.1?) and its colored output causes problems, add the -c option to TROFF, NROFF.
