MANPATH(1) MANPATH(1) manpath - manpath [-qgdc?V] [-m system[,...]] [-C file] $MANPATH manpath manpath The colon-delimited path is determined using information gained from the man-db configuration file - (/etc/man_db.conf) and the user's environment. -q, --quiet -d, --debug -c, --catpath manpath catpath () manpath 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 systems' 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. system OS OS man $SYSTEM -C file, --config-file=file Use this user configuration file rather than the default of ~/.manpath. -?, --help --usage Print a short usage message and exit. -V, --version MANPATH If $MANPATH is set, manpath displays its value rather than determining it on the fly.
