SYNOPSIS
manpath [-qgdc] [-m system[,...]]
DESCRIPTION
If $MANPATH is set, manpath will simply display its con
tents and issue a warning. If not, manpath will determine
a suitable manual page hierarchy search path and display
the results.
The colon-delimited path is determined using information
gained from the man_db configuration file - (/etc/man
path.config) and the user's environment.
OPTIONS
-q, --quiet
Do not issue warnings.
-d, --debug
Produce debugging information.
-c, --catpath
Produce a catpath as opposed to a manpath. Once
the manpath is determined, each path element is
converted to its relative catpath.
-g, --global
Produce a manpath consisting of all paths named as
`global' within the man_db configuration file.
-m system[,...], --systems=system[,...]
If this system has access to other operating sys
tem's manual hierarchies, this option can be used
to include them in the output of manpath. To
include NewOS's manual page hierarchies use the
option -m NewOS.
The system specified can be a combination of comma
delimited operating system names. To include the
native operating system's manual page hierarchies,
the system name man must be included in the argu
ment string. This option will override the $SYSTEM
environment variable.
-h, --help
Print a help message and exit.
-V, --version
Display version and author information.
