Hi everyone. I'm new to using the Terminal and was just wondering if anyone had a link to perhaps a list of commands. And tips on some useful websites to visit or books to read.

Thanks :) (2 Replies)

Is there a trick to closing a mac terminal with a command? I would think you could just type exit into your terminal but that doesn't work. I also tried quit and close just for the hell of it and that didn't work either. Does anyone know what the command is? (1 Reply)

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
