NAAM¶
catman - create or update the pre-formatted manual pages
SAMENVATTING¶
catman [
-d?V] [
-M path] [
-C file] [
section] ...
BESCHRIJVING¶
catman is used to create an up to date set of pre-formatted manual pages
known as cat pages. Cat pages are generally much faster to display than the
original manual pages, but require extra storage space. The decision to
support cat pages is that of the local administrator, who must provide
suitable directories to contain them.
The options available to
catman are the manual page hierarchies and
sections to pre-format. The default hierarchies are those specified as system
hierarchies in the man-db configuration file, and the default sections are
either the colon-delimited contents of the environment variable $
MANSECT or the standard set compiled into
man if $
MANSECT
is undefined. Supplying
catman with a set of whitespace-delimited
section names will override both of the above.
catman makes use of the
index database cache associated with each
hierarchy to determine which files need to be formatted.
OPTIES¶
- -d, --debug
- Foutinformatie tonen.
- -M pad, --manpath=pad
- Specify an alternate colon-delimited manual page hierarchy search path. By
default, this is all paths indicated as system hierarchies in the man-db
configuration file.
- -C bestand, --config-file=bestand
- Gebruik dit gebruikersconfiguratiebestand in plaats van de standaard van
~/.manpath.
- -?, --help
- Een hulptekst tonen en stoppen.
- --usage
- Print a short usage message and exit.
- -V, --version
- Versieinformatie tonen.
OMGEVING¶
- MANSECT
- If $MANSECT is set, its value is a colon-delimited list of sections
and it is used to determine which manual sections to search and in what
order. The default is "1 n l 8 3 2 3posix 3pm 3perl 5 4 9 6 7",
unless overridden by the SECTION directive in
/etc/manpath.config.
- MANPATH
- Wanneer $MANPATH is opgegeven, wordt de waarde
geïnterpreteerd als een zoekpad van dubbelepuntgescheiden
hiërarchie van man-pagina's.
BESTANDEN¶
- /etc/manpath.config
- man-db-configuratiebestand.
- /usr/man/index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
- Een traditionele, algemene index-database-cache.
- /var/catman/index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
- An alternate or FSSTND compliant global index database cache.
