NAME
     uman -- Uninstalled manual page reader

SYNOPSIS
     uman [search-string]

DESCRIPTION
     The  uman script formats and displays uninstalled manual pages, without us-
     ing the system manual.  The search-string argument should be a manual  page
     title  (or  in  the  case of library documentation, the name of a function,
     structure or class).

     The UMANPATH environment variable should be defined  as  a  comma-separated
     list  of directories containing manual page source files such as foo.1, and
     optionally BSDBuild-generated .manlink.mk files.  uman will search the  di-
     rectories recursively.

     If  a  match  is found, uman formats and feeds the resulting manual page to
     the system PAGER (or the default, less(1)).
