NAME
       manvm --	format and display the on-line Java VM manual pages

SYNOPSIS
       manvm [name]

DESCRIPTION
       Manvm  provides	a  convenient system for displaying the	on-line	manual
       pages for different Java	VMs without having to add their	 (conflicting)
       manual page directories to MANPATH

       By  default, manvm will select the most "native"	and up to date version
       of the Java VM when locating the	manual page to be displayed.  This se-
       lection process is akin to that used by javavm in that the  same	 envi-
       ronment variables and processes are used.

       The  manual  pages are displayed	using man, and all applicable environ-
       ment variables, save for	MANPATH, are respected.	 Options may be	passed
       to man using the	JAVAVM_OPTS environment	variable  and  its  associated
       sub-variables and configuration file.

ENVIRONMENT
       JAVA_HOME
	       The presence of this variable in	the environment	when executing
	       manvm will override all other considerations regarding the Java
	       VM  whose on-line manual	pages will be displayed	and the	manual
	       pages located at	${JAVA_HOME}/man will be used.

       JAVA_OS
	       A space delimited list of operating systems.  The on-line  man-
	       ual  pages  to  be  displayed must come from a Java VM that has
	       been created for	one of the operating systems in	the list.

	       Currently allowed operating  system  values  are	 `native'  and
	       `linux'.

       JAVA_VENDOR
	       A  space	delimited list of Java VM vendors.  The	on-line	manual
	       pages to	be displayed must come from a Java VM  that  has  been
	       released	by one of the vendors in the list.

	       Currently allowed vendors are `openjdk',	`oracle', and `sun'.

       JAVA_VERSION
	       A  space	 delimited  list of versions of	the Java VM from which
	       the on-line manual pages	may come.  By appending	 a  `+'	 to  a
	       version,	 the on-line manual pages from any Java	VM with	a ver-
	       sion greater than or equal to the given version will be used.

	       Currently allowed versions are `8', `8+',  `11',	 `11+',	 `17',
	       `17+', `18', `18+', `19', `19+',	`20', `20+', `21', and `21+'.

       JAVAVM_OPTS
	       The contents of this environment	variable will be passed	to the
	       invoked	man  as	 options.  For more information	on environment
	       variables   which   can	 be   used   to	  set	options	   see
	       /usr/local/etc/javavm_opts.conf.dist.

EXAMPLES
       /usr/local/bin/manvm java
	       Display	the  on-line manual page for the java programme	of the
	       the most	up to  date  and  "native"  Java  VM  registered  with
	       javavm.

       JAVA_VERSION=8 /usr/local/bin/manvm javac
	       Display	the  on-line manual page for the javac programme for a
	       Java VM which is	version	8.
