MANPATH(1)                    Manual pager utils                    MANPATH(1)

NAME
       manpath - determine search path for manual pages
SYNOPSIS
       manpath [-qgdc?V] [-m system[,...]] [-C file]
DESCRIPTION
       If  $MANPATH is set, manpath will simply display its contents and issue
       a warning.  If not, manpath will determine a suitable manual page hier-
       archy search path and display the results.
       The  colon-delimited  path  is determined using information gained from
       the man-db configuration file - (/etc/man_db.conf) and the user's envi-
       ronment.
OPTIONS
       -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  cat-
              path.
       -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  system's  manual
              hierarchies, this option can be used to include them in the out-
              put 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  sys-
              tem'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.
ENVIRONMENT
       MANPATH
              If $MANPATH is set,  manpath  displays  its  value  rather  than
              determining  it on the fly.  If $MANPATH is prefixed by a colon,
              then the value of the variable is appended to  the  list  deter-
              mined from the content of the configuration files.  If the colon
              comes at the end of the value in the variable, then  the  deter-
              mined  list  is appended to the content of the variable.  If the
              value of the variable contains a double  colon  (::),  then  the
              determined  list is inserted in the middle of the value, between
              the two colons.
       SYSTEM If $SYSTEM is set, it will have the same effect  as  if  it  had
              been specified as the argument to the -m option.
FILES
       /etc/man_db.conf  man-db configuration file.
