How to make man outputs in English look in good shape?
Hi,
My question is how to make man outputs in English look in good shape.
I use OpenSolais with a locale setting "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8". Under this circumstance running "man something" shows Japanese translated man pages, but I need to read original English man explanations occasionally.
"LANG=C man something" or "LANG=C ; export LANG" changes man page in English, however the outputs of some man pages (not all) crush out of good format and are hard to read.
Could someone please help me on how to make it in a good format?
Thank you,
After changing LANG, then ran "man sar" command as an example
Code:
$ LANG=C ; export LANG
$ locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
$
$ man sar
sar(1)
sar -
sar [-aAbcdgkmpqruvwy] [-o filename] t [n]
sar [-aAbcdgkmpqruvwy] [-e time] [-f filename] [-i sec]
[-s time]
sar

Reason: Please use code tags!
IF I understand - you CAN read the man pages in Japanese, but you cannot read the exact same man pages in English.
I can read the Japanese translated version man pages. I ALSO CAN call the original English ones by changing the local. I am aware that they are different and that changing the local can not translate the contents themselves.
The problem is the English ones appear out of good proportion on screen when I call them by changing to LANG=C on my Japanese OpenSolaris env... Extra spaces are inserted between the words as if the pages are taken apart and broken.

If you have a separate set of man pages that are English text, then reset MANPATH to point to them.
I see...I will go with your suggestion. This could handle my situation much better, I guess.
Hi All,
I have a situation to parse a file with following limitations:

hi friends,
The code:

filename=`/usr/bin/ls -l| awk '{ print $9}'`
echo $filename>>summary.csv
#Gives the name of the file stored at column 9
count=`wc -l $filename | awk '{print $1}'`
echo $count>>summary.csv
#Gives just the count of lines of file "filename"

According to Sun documentation (Ldoms 1.1 Administration Guide), To access the ldm(1M) man page, add the directory path /opt/SUNWldm/man to the variable $MANPATH. When I add the lines:
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/SUNWldm/man
export MANPATH
to .profile, exit root and re-login, I would have "man ldm"... (5 Replies)
