Changing OSX Terminal Man Page Colors
For a long time, when I type
man anything on my Mac, both the manpage header fonts and the background was black, so I had to use my mouse to highlight the
manpage output to read it. It was really annoying.
The problem was the same both locally or using the
terminal and going
ssh somewhere.
Finally! I fixed it, thanks to this article in MacWorld !!

mtoolstest
mtoolstest(1) General Commands Manual mtoolstest(1)
Name
mtoolstest - tests and displays the configuration
Note of warning
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the
end of this man page for details.
Description
The mtoolstest command is used to tests the mtools configuration files. To invoke it, just type mtoolstest without any arguments. Mtool-
stest reads the mtools configuration files, and prints the cumulative configuration to stdout. The output can be used as a configuration
file itself (although you might want to remove redundant clauses). You may use this program to convert old-style configuration files into
new style configuration files.

Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre-
sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you
to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
quoting conventions used in info.
