10 # This file is read by man to configure the default manpath (also used
11 # when MANPATH contains an empty substring), to find out where the cat
12 # pages corresponding to given man pages should be stored,
13 # and to map each PATH element to a manpath element.
14 # It may also record the pathname of the man binary. [This is unused.]
18 # MANPATH manpath_element [corresponding_catdir]
19 # MANPATH_MAP path_element manpath_element
21 # If no catdir is given, it is assumed to be equal to the mandir
22 # (so that this dir has both man1 etc. and cat1 etc. subdirs).
23 # This is the traditional Unix setup.
24 # Certain versions of the FSSTND recommend putting formatted versions
25 # of /usr/.../man/manx/page.x into /var/catman/.../catx/page.x.
26 # The keyword FSSTND will cause this behaviour.
27 # Certain versions of the FHS recommend putting formatted versions of
28 # /usr/.../share/man/[locale/]manx/page.x into
29 # /var/cache/man/.../[locale/]catx/page.x.
30 # The keyword FHS will cause this behaviour (and overrides FSSTND).
31 # Explicitly given catdirs override.
36 # This file is also read by man in order to find how to call nroff, less, etc.,
37 # and to determine the correspondence between extensions and decompressors.

75 # NOAUTOPATH keeps man from automatically adding directories that look like
76 # manual page directories to the path.

82 # the directory they would live in - man never does mkdir)
