Man Pages

On-line manual (man) pages provide immediate documentation about a command, function, subroutine, or collection of such things.

Sun WorkShop man pages are located in /opt/SUNWspro/man/ after a standard install of the products. Add this path to your MANPATH environment variable to access these Sun WorkShop man pages.

You can display a man page by running the command:

demo% man topic

Throughout the C++ documentation, man page references appear with the topic name and man section number: CC(1) is accessed with man CC. Other sections, denoted by ieee_flags(3M) for example, are accessed using the --s option on the man command:

demo% man -s 3M ieee_flags

See the C++ Programming Guide for a complete list of C++ related man pages.
