man(1)                                                     man(1)



     NAME
          man - print entries in this manual

     SYNOPSIS
          man [-c] [-d] [-Tterm] [-w] [section]  titles [section
           title...]

     DESCRIPTION
          man locates and prints the entry of this manual named title
          in the specified section.  (For historical reasons, the word
          ``page'' is often used as a synonym for ``entry'' in this
          context.) The title is entered in lower case.  The section
          number may not have a letter suffix.  If no section is
          specified, the whole manual is searched for title and all
          occurrences of it are printed.  Flag options and their
          meanings are:

          -Tterm     Print the entry as appropriate for terminal type
                     term.  For a list of recognized values of term,
                     type help term2.  The default value of term is
                     450.
          -w         Print on the standard output only the pathnames
                     of the entries, relative to /usr/catman, or to
                     the current directory for -d flag option.
          -d         Search the current directory, rather than
                     /usr/catman; requires the full filename (e.g.,
                     cu.1c, rather than just cu).
          -c         Causes man to invoke col(1); note that col(1) is
                     invoked automatically by man unless term is one
                     of the standard terminal types: 300, 300s, 450,
                     37, 4000a, 382, 4014, tek, 1620, and X.

          man examines the environment variable $TERM, $PAGER (see
          environ(5)) and attempts to select flag options that adapt
          the output to the terminal being used.  The $PAGER variable
          is default to ``more'' if not set otherwise.  The user may
          select ``pg'' with the appropiate flag options.  The -Tterm
          flag option overrides the value of $TERM; in particular, one
          should use -Tlp when sending the output of man to a line
          printer.

          section may be changed before each title.

          As an example:

               man man

          would reproduce on the terminal this entry, as well as any
          other entries named man that may exist in other sections of
          the manual.

     CAVEAT
          The man command prints manual entries that were formatted by
          nroff 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.  Typesetting or other non-
          standard printing of manual entries is not yet supported.
