JMAKEWHATIS(1) General Commands Manual JMAKEWHATIS(1) NAME jmakewhatis -- create Japanese or original (English) whatis database SYNOPSIS jmakewhatis [-a | -append] [-h | -help] [-i | -indent column] [-n | -name name] [-o | -outfile file] [-v | -verbose] [directories ...] DESCRIPTION Jmakewhatis extracts the name and a short description from unformatted man- pages and creates the japanese(whatis)1 database. Jmakewhatis can read gzip'ed manpages. Directory names a directory containing manpage subdirec- tories (named man.+). Colons are treated as spaces, hence jmakewhatis $MANPATH or jmakewhatis `manpath` are allowed. You have to set the envi- ronment variable LC_CTYPE (or LANG) to ja_JP.EUC if directory contains Japanese manpage subdirectories. OPTIONS -a, -append Append mode. Don't delete old entries in whatis database. Note: the new database will be sorted without repeated lines and jmakewhatis does not check if old entries are valid. -h, -help Print options and exit. -i, -indent column Justify description strings to column (default 24). -n, -name name Use name instead of whatis. -o, -outfile file Write all output to file instead of dirname/whatis. -v, -verbose Issue more warnings (to stderr). For every parsed man page write a single char: `.' for an uncompressed page, `*' for a compressed page, and `+' for a link. EXAMPLES jmakewhatis $MANPATH Create whatis database for all directories in your $MANPATH. jmakewhatis -outfile /tmp/mywhatis /usr/share/man/ja $HOME/man Create whatis database /tmp/mywhatis. Traverse directories /usr/share/man/ja and $HOME/man. Don't create /usr/share/man/ja/whatis or $HOME/man/whatis. jmakewhatis -name windex $HOME/man Create whatis database windex instead of whatis. May be useful for So- laris. SEE ALSO japropos(1), jcatman(1), jmakewhatis.local(1), jman(1), jmanpath(1), jwhatis(1), sort(1), uniq(1).
