manpath - format for filen /etc/man_db.conf

BESKRIVELSE

The manpath configuration file is used by the manual page utilities to assess users' manpaths at run time, to indicate which manual page hierarchies (manpaths) are to be treated as system hierarchies and to assign them directories to be used for storing cat files.

If the environment variable $MANPATH is already set, the information contained within /etc/man_db.conf will not override it.

Lines of this form indicate manpaths that every automatically generated $MANPATH should contain. This will typically include /usr/man.
Lines of this form set up $PATH to $MANPATH mappings. For each path_element found in the user's $PATH, manpath_element will be added to the $MANPATH.
Lines of this form indicate which manpaths are to be treated as system manpaths, and optionally where their cat files should be stored. This field type is particularly important if man is a setuid program, as (when in the system configuration file /etc/man_db.conf rather than the per-user configuration file .manpath) it indicates which manual page hierarchies to access as the setuid user and which as the invoking user.

Systemets manualsidehierarkier er normalt dem, der lagres under /usr såsom /usr/man, /usr/local/man og /usr/X11R6/man.

If cat pages from a particular manpath_element are not to be stored or are to be stored in the traditional location, catpath_element may be omitted.

Traditional cat placement would be impossible for read only mounted manual page hierarchies and because of this it is possible to specify any valid directory hierarchy for their storage. To observe the Linux FSSTND the keyword FSSTND can be used in place of an actual directory.

Unfortunately, it is necessary to specify all system man tree paths, including alternate operating system paths such as /usr/man/sun and any NLS locale paths such as /usr/man/de_DE.88591.

As the information is parsed line by line in the order written, it is necessary for any manpath that is a sub-hierarchy of another hierarchy to be listed first, otherwise an incorrect match will be made. An example is that /usr/man/de_DE.88591 must come before /usr/man.

Lines of this form define miscellaneous configuration variables; see the default configuration file for those variables used by the manual pager utilities. They include default paths to various programs (such as grep and tbl), and default sets of arguments to those programs.
Lines of this form define the order in which manual sections should be searched. If there are no SECTION directives in the configuration file, the default is: 

SECTION 1 n l 8 3 0 2 5 4 9 6 7

If multiple SECTION directives are given, their section lists will be concatenated.

If a particular extension is not in this list (say, 1mh) it will be displayed with the rest of the section it belongs to. The effect of this is that you only need to explicitly list extensions if you want to force a particular order. Sections with extensions should usually be adjacent to their main section (e.g. "1 1mh 8 ...").

AFSNIT accepteres som et alternativt navn for dette direktiv.

Hvis terminalbredden er mindre end bredde vil katalogsider ikke blive oprettet (hvis manglende) eller vist. Standarden er 80.
Hvis terminalbredden er større end bredde vil katalogsider ikke blive oprettet (hvis manglende) eller vist. Standarden er 80.
Hvis width er forskellig fra nul, så vil cat-sider altid blive formateret for en terminal med en fast bredde, uanset bredden for den terminal der faktisk anvendes. Dette bør normalt være indenfor intervallet angivet af MINCATWIDTH og MAXCATWIDTH.
Dette flag forhindrer man(1) i at oprette katalogsider automatisk.

FEJL

Hvis reglerne anført ovenfor ikke følges præcist, vil redskaberne for manualtekstviseren ikke fungere som ønsket. Reglerne er alt for kompliceret.
