I realise that with GNU 'info' a lot of developers become, dare I say it, quite lazy when it comes to providing a well written man page - and some argue they're not needed at all.

manpath
MANPATH(1) BSD General Commands Manual MANPATH(1)NAME
manpath -- display search path for manual pages
SYNOPSIS
manpath [-Ldq]
DESCRIPTION
The manpath utility determines the user's manual search path from the user's PATH, and local configuration files. This result is echoed to
the standard output.
-L Output manual locales list instead of the manual path.
-d Print extra debugging information.
-q Suppresses warning messages.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The manpath utility constructs the manual path from two sources:
1. From each component of the user's PATH for the first of:
- pathname/man
- pathname/MAN
- If pathname ends with /bin: pathname/../man
Note: Special logic exists to make /bin and /usr/bin look in /usr/share/man for manual files.
2. The configuration files listed in the FILES section for MANPATH entries.
The information from these locations is then concatenated together.
If the -L flag is set, the manpath utility will search the configuration files listed in the FILES section for MANLOCALE entries.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables affect the execution of manpath:
MANLOCALES If set with the -L flag, causes the utility to display a warning and the value, overriding any other configuration found on the
system.
MANPATH If set, causes the utility to display a warning and the value, overriding any other configuration found on the system.
PATH Influences the manual path as described in the IMPLEMENTATION NOTES.
FILES
/etc/man.conf
System configuration file.
/usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf
Local configuration files.
