NAVN
       catman - opret eller opdater de pa forhand formaterede manualsider

SYNOPSIS
       catman [-d?V] [-M sti] [-C fil] [afsnit] ...

BESKRIVELSE
       catman is used to create an up to date set of pre-formatted manual
       pages known as cat pages.  Cat pages are generally much faster to
       display than the original manual pages, but require extra storage
       space.  The decision to support cat pages is that of the local
       administrator, who must provide suitable directories to contain them.

       The options available to catman are the manual page hierarchies and
       sections to pre-format.  The default hierarchies are those specified as
       system hierarchies in the man-db configuration file, and the default
       sections are either the colon-delimited contents of the environment
       variable $MANSECT or the standard set compiled into man if $MANSECT is
       undefined.  Supplying catman with a set of whitespace-delimited section
       names will override both of the above.

       catman makes use of the index database cache associated with each
       hierarchy to determine which files need to be formatted.

       -M sti, --manpath=sti
              Specify an alternate colon-delimited manual page hierarchy
              search path.  By default, this is all paths indicated as system
              hierarchies in the man-db configuration file.

       -C fil, --config-file=fil
              Use this user configuration file rather than the default of
              ~/.manpath.

MILJO
       MANSECT
              If $MANSECT is set, its value is a colon-delimited list of
              sections and it is used to determine which manual sections to
              search and in what order.  The default is "1 1p n l 8 3 3p 0 0p
              2 3type 5 4 9 6 7", unless overridden by the SECTION directive
              in /etc/man_db.conf.

       MANPATH
              Hvis $MANPATH er angivet, dets vaerdi er fortolket som den
              kolonafgraensede manualsides hierarkisogesti at anvende.

              See the SEARCH PATH section of manpath(5)  for the default
              behaviour and details of how this environment variable is
              handled.
