I am interested in knowing if anyone out there has been using the BSD UNIX that underlies
MacOS X. Is this an "industrial strength" version of UNIX? Can I run X-Windows on such
a machine? How about TeXing, pythoning, PERLing or using other useful UNIX goodies

When I checked with top command, I found tht my buffers are always 137M, which means that they are sort of overloaded. My Inactive memory is 520M. Is it possible to increaase the buffer size and what would be the command for that? (0 Replies)
The "top" command shows that my buffer size is always at 137M, which I think has reached to the maximum. However, Ido have lots of Inative memory? Is it possible to increae the buffer size? and what is the command for that? Further, this is the buffer for writing to the hard disk? (3 Replies)

why,just beacuse that its the bottom layer uses a small amount of bsd code? In my opinion, macos and Unix are completely different. The directories are long directory structures. For example, /application, /system, /user, /volumes, etc. are completely different from the traditional /bin/ /sbin... (5 Replies)

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
