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. MANBIN-test /usr/local/bin/man Every automatically generated MANPATH includes these fields MANPATH /usr/local/man MANPATH /usr/local/share/man MANPATH /usr/X11R6/man Uncomment if you want to include one of these by default MANPATH /opt/*/man MANPATH /usr/lib/*/man MANPATH /usr/share/*/man MANPATH /usr/kerberos/man Set up PATH to MANPATH mapping MANPATH_MAP /usr/sbin /usr/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/share/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11R6/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin/X11 /usr/X11R6/man MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin/mh /usr/share/man NOAUTOPATH 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.
