man.conf

MAN.CONF(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						       MAN.CONF(5)

NAME

     man.conf -- man(1) and manpath(1) configuration files

DESCRIPTION

     The man.conf file is used to configure the manual search path, locales, and utility set for man(1) and its related utilities.  During ini-
     tialization, man(1) reads the configuration files located at /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf and /etc/man.conf.

     The files contained in /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf are intended to be used by the ports(7) system for extending the manual set to support
     additional paths and locales.  /etc/man.conf is intended to be used by the local administrator to set additional policy.

     Currently supported configuration variables include:

	   MANCONFIG	 Overrides the default location to import additional manual configuration files.  Defaults to /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf.

	   MANPATH	 Adds the specified directory to the manual search path.

	   MANLOCALE	 Indicates support is available for the given locale.

     For pages in a given language, overriding the default toolset for display is supported via the following definitions:

	   EQN_LANG
	   NROFF_LANG
	   PIC_LANG
	   TBL_LANG
	   TROFF_LANG
	   REFER_LANG
	   VGRIND_LANG

     See the EXAMPLES section for how to use these variables.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     The parser used for this utility is very basic and only supports comment characters (#) at the beginning of a line.

FILES

     /etc/man.conf		     System configuration file.
     /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf     Local configuration files.

EXAMPLES

     A perl port that needs to install additional manual pages outside of the default location could install a file in
     /usr/local/etc/man.d/perl.conf with the following contents:

	   # Add perl man pages to search path
	   MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man
	   MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/perl/man

     A Japanese localization port could install a custom toolset and include a file in /usr/local/etc/man.d/ja-man-doc.conf with the following
     contents:

	   # Setup Japanese toolset
	   MANLOCALE	   ja_JP.eucJP
	   EQN_JA	   /usr/local/bin/geqn
	   PIC_JA	   /usr/local/bin/gpic
	   TBL_JA	   /usr/local/bin/gtbl
	   NROFF_JA	   /usr/local/bin/groff -man -dlang=ja_JP.eucJP
	   TROFF_JA	   /usr/local/bin/groff -man -dlang=ja_JP.euc.jp

     If the system administrator decides to override the LOCALBASE make(1) variable causing all ports(7) to be installed into /opt instead of
     /usr/local, specifying the following in /etc/man.conf will accommodate this change:

	   # Look for additional configuration files
	   MANCONFIG /opt/etc/man.d/*.conf
