16 | .LO 1 | |
17 | .SH NAME | |
18 | manpath \- determine user's search path for man pages | |
19 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
20 | manpath [\-q] | |
21 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
22 | manpath tries to determine the user's manpath from a set of system | |
23 | defaults and the user's | |
24 | .B PATH , | |
25 | echoing the result to the standard output. Warnings and errors are | |
26 | written to the standard error. | |
27 | If a directory in the user's path is not listed in the manpath.config | |
28 | file, manpath looks for the subdirectories man or MAN. If they exist, | |
29 | they are added to the search path. | |
30 | .PP | |
31 | manpath is used by | |
32 | .B man | |
33 | to determine the search path, so user's normally don't need to set the | |
34 | .B MANPATH | |
35 | environment variable directly. | |
36 | .SH OPTIONS | |
