man.conf
MAN.CONF(5) File Formats Manual MAN.CONF(5)
NAME
man.conf - configuration data for man
DESCRIPTION
This file is read by man(1) and contains (a) information on how to construct the search path for man, (b) full path names for various pro-
grams like nroff, eqn, tbl etc. used by man, and (c) a list with uncompressors for files with a given extension. An alternative version of
this file can be specified with
man -C private_man.conf ...
The command names may be provided with options. Useful options to nroff can be found in grotty(1). For example, instead of the default
line
NROFF /usr/bin/groff -mandoc -Tlatin1
one may write
NROFF /usr/bin/groff -mandoc -Tlatin1 -P-u -P-b
in order to suppress underlining and overstriking.
FILES
/private/etc/man.conf
