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.
manpath1
Display search path for manual pages
Usage
manpath [-Ldq]
Overview
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:
-
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
-
-
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 configuration files listed in the FILES section for MANLOCALE entries.
Environment
The following environment variables affect the execution of manpath:
-
-
-
MANPATH -
If set, causes the utility to display a warning and the value, overriding any other configuration found on the system.
