Operating Systems Solaris Having troubles searching man pages in OmniOS Post 303025892 by stratacast1 on Wednesday 14th of November 2018 02:28:33 PM

Having troubles searching man pages in OmniOS

I recently have become curious with Illumos distributions, at the present time, OmniOS. One thing I've come to expect is being able to simply type "man ls" for example to figure out how to use system tools. However, running man on OmniOS has provided nothing, nor does it seem to be available

Code:
~ » which man man: aliased to nocorrect man




However, the above behavior only happens in zsh, where with sh I get an actual path:
Code:
user@omni:~$ which man /usr/bin/man

Is there a different command or something? Every time I try to search for the manual for a command I always get "No manual entry for <command>". I've tried both in zsh and sh using man and man -s to check different sections

NAME
po4aman-display-po - display a translated man page according to a PO SYNOPSIS
po4aman-display-po -p PO_FILE [-m MASTER_FILE] [-o PO4A_OPT] DESCRIPTION
po4aman-display-po can be used by a translator who wants to check how the man page being translated in a PO will be displayed. The manual page must be in one of the formats supported by the po4a's man module. The manual page can be provided on the command line, or installed on the system. Manual pages generated from other formats, like DocBook or POD, are not supported. See po4apod-display-po(1) for an equivalent supporting POD documents. OPTIONS
-p PO_FILE The PO file containing the translations. -m MASTER_FILE The original man page. It can be the absolute or relative path to the original man page (gzipped or not), the name the man page or the name and section of the man page (using the man.section format). When the master document is not provided with the -m option, po4aman-display-po tries to find the original man page based on the line reference of the first string in the PO. -o PO4A_OPT Some options to pass to po4a-translate(1).
