Hello,
I want manuals for X11 to be usable with man command.
I found out there is a MANPATH variable which defines the path for
man-files.
However the command "setenv" does not show a value for MNPATH.
Does mac OS X use another way?
How to include x11's path for man?
Luc Bressinck
man manpath
Turns out there's a command, /usr/bin/manpath that looks at
/etc/manpath.config ---
It talks about automatically generated MANPATH in the manpath.config
file, but someone who's more familiar with BSD unix will have to
explain the mysteries.
Personally, I just set the value of MANPATH directly in my .zprofile
(I use zsh).
However, for X11 use (xman(1) for instance) it's probably better set in
.MacOSX/environment.plist.
On my system, I set it to: /usr/share/man:/Developer/man:/usr/X11R6/man
but /Developer/man is a softlink to /Developer/Documentation/ManPages
