MANPATH(1) General Commands Manual MANPATH(1) NAME manpath -- display search path for manual pages SYNOPSIS manpath [-Ldq] DESCRIPTION The manpath utility determines the user's manual search path from the user's PATH, and local configuration files. This result is echoed to the standard output. -L Output manual locales list instead of the manual path. -d Print extra debugging information. -q Suppresses warning messages. IMPLEMENTATION NOTES The manpath utility constructs the manual path from two sources: 1. From each component of the user's PATH for the first of: - pathname/man - pathname/MAN - If pathname ends with /bin: pathname/../share/man and pathname/../man 2. The configuration files listed in the "FILES" section for MANPATH entries. The information from these locations is then concatenated together. If the -L flag is set, the manpath utility will search the configura- tion files listed in the "FILES" section for MANLOCALE entries. ENVIRONMENT The following environment variables affect the execution of manpath: MANLOCALES If set with the -L flag, causes the utility to display a warning and the value, overriding any other configuration found on the system. MANPATH If set, causes the utility to display a warning and the value, overriding any other configuration found on the sys- tem. PATH Influences the manual path as described in the "IMPLEMENTATION NOTES". FILES /etc/man.conf System configuration file. /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf Local configuration files.
