MAN(1)                               SysV                               MAN(1)



NAME
     man - print entries in this manual

SYNOPSIS
     man [ options ] [ section ] title(s)

DESCRIPTION
     man locates and prints the manual page(s) specified by the title
     argument.  If you also specify a section, man looks for the title only in
     the section indicated (otherwise, it searches the whole manual).  You
     must enter the title in lowercase, and the section number may not have a
     letter suffix.

     man examines the environment variable $TERM and attempts to select
     options that adapt the output to the terminal being used.  Refer to
     environ(5) for more information.  The -Tterm option overrides the value
     of $TERM.

     When the standard output is connected to a Display Manager pad (the
     normal case when you are using a Domain workstation), man displays the
     manual page in a read-only edit pad.  You can resize the pad, scroll
     through or copy portions of the text, turn the pad into an icon, or do
     any other operation allowed on a read-only edit pad.  When you finish
     reading the manual entry, close the window by positioning the cursor in
     the window and pressing <EXIT>.

     When man is not run from a Display Manager pad, man checks the
     environment variable $PAGER to determine what program is to be used to
     display man pages.  If $PAGER is not set, the default is /bin/pg.

     Section may be changed before each title.

OPTIONS
     -Tterm    Prints the entry as appropriate for terminal type term.  For a
               list of recognized values of term, type help term2.  Also refer
               to term(5) for further details.  The default value of term is
               450.

     -w        Prints on the standard output only the pathnames of the
               entries, relative to /usr/catman, or to the current directory
               for the -d option.

     -W        Opens pads for both standard output and standard error instead
               of utilizing the current window.

     -d        Searches the current directory rather than /usr/catman.  This
               option requires that you specify the full filename (e.g.,
               cu.1c, rather than just cu).

     -c        Invoke col(1).  This is done automatically, unless term is one
               of the following: 300, 300s, 450, 37, 4000a, 382, 4014, tek,
               1620, and X.

EXAMPLE
     To reproduce this page on the terminal, as well as any other entries
     named man that may exist in other sections of the manual, use:
       # man man

BUGS
     man prints manual entries that were formatted by nroff(1) when the UNIX
     system was installed.  Entries are originally formatted with terminal

     type 37, and are printed using the correct terminal filters as derived
     from the -Tterm and $TERM settings.

FILES
     /usr/catman/?_man/man[1-8]/*
          Preformatted manual entries; system and command reference
          directories
