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

AUTHOR

       John W. Eaton was the original author of man.  Zeyd M. Ben-Halim released man 1.2, and Andries Brouwer followed up with versions  1.3  thru
       1.5p.  Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi@acm.org> is the current maintainer.
