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  di-
       rectories or subdirectories separated by	spaces or colons.  You have to
       set  the	envionment variable LC_CTYPE (or LANG) to ja_JP.EUC if you in-
       clude Japanese man directories in directories.  Use  existing  directo-
       ries	  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-al-
	       phanumeric  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  sup-
       port the	-w option as some other	systems	do.  Use jmakewhatis(1)	to re-
       build the `whatis' database.

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