JCATMAN(1)		     General Commands Manual		      JCATMAN(1)

NAME
     jcatman -- preformat Japanese or original (English) man pages

SYNOPSIS
     jcatman [-f | -force] [-h | -help] [-p | -print] [-r | -remove]
	     [-v | -verbose] [directories ...]

DESCRIPTION
     Jcatman format Japanese or original (English) man pages to ASCII/EUC.  It's
     like  typing  `man  program'  for	all  Japanese  or  original man pages in
     directories.  Directories is a list of Japanese or original man directories
     or subdirectories separated by spaces or colons.  You have to set	the  en-
     vionment  variable  LC_CTYPE (or LANG) to ja_JP.EUC if you include Japanese
     man   directories	 in   directories.    Use   existing   directories    of
     /usr/share/man/ja_JP.EUC,	 /usr/share/man/ja_JP,	 /usr/share/man/ja   (if
     LC_CTYPE or  LANG	set  to  ja_JP.EUC)  or  /usr/share/man  (other)  if  no
     directories defined.

OPTIONS
     -f, -force
	     Force overwriting old cat pages.  Normally only those pages will be
	     formatted	which  are  not  up  to date.  This option is a waste of
	     time, CPU and RAM.

     -h, -help
	     Print options and exit.

     -p, -print
	     Don't actually format man pages. Show what would be done.

     -r, -remove
	     Remove garbage, e. g. catpage without manpage, uncompressed catpage
	     but a compressed catpage  exist,  filenames  with	non-alphanumeric
	     characters, uncompressed manpage but a compressed manpage exist.

     -v, -verbose
	     More warnings.

EXAMPLES
	   $ jcatman

     Format  man  pages  in  existing  directories  of /usr/share/man/ja_JP.EUC,
     /usr/share/man/ja_JP, /usr/share/man/ja if necessary.

	   $ jcatman $MANPATH

     Format all your man pages if necessary.

	   $ jcatman -f /usr/share/man/ja/man1 /usr/share/man/ja/manl

     Force  reformatting  of  all  man	pages  in   /usr/share/man/ja/man1   and
     /usr/share/man/ja/manl.

	   $ jcatman -p /usr/X11R6/man/ja

     Show only.

FEATURES
     Very  fast  if  all man Japanese pages already formatted.	Does not support
     the -w option as some other systems do.  Use jmakewhatis(1) to rebuild  the
     `whatis' database.

BUGS
     jman(1)  is a setuid program.  Be careful that user `man' has write permis-
     sions to the jcatman directories.	Jcatman does not check for any `.so'  in
     Japanese man page sources.  Use hard or symlinks to avoid redundant format-
     ted Japanese man pages.
