Since the Trusted Solaris operating environment is based on the Solaris environment, Trusted Solaris customers who rely on Trusted Solaris documentation are expected to have access to the Solaris documentation as well. The Solaris documentation can be ordered from http://www1.fatbrain.com/documentation/sun.
All Trusted Solaris books are available in online format from the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 AnswerBook CD-ROM (704-7949-10) and at the Sun website: http://www.sun.com/docs and can be printed from these sources if desired.
In addition to the online documentation, online help is provided in the Trusted Solaris operating environment through the Front Panel help icon and the Solaris Management Console help system.
An extensive library of man pages for the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 operating environment is available in the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 Reference Manual mentioned above and from the command line using the man(1) command.
If a man page is in both the Solaris and the Trusted Solaris reference manuals, refer to the man page in the Trusted Solaris 8 4/01 Reference Manual, since it includes the differences unique to the Trusted Solaris operating environment.
For an overview of the Trusted Solaris environment with a complete listing of available commands, see the following introductory man pages for each section of the reference manual:
The man pages for the Trusted Solaris environment reside in three different directories. For the man command to find all the Trusted Solaris man pages, your man page path needs to be set to find the three directories in the following list, along with any other directories where man pages are installed at your site.
/usr/man
/usr/openwin/man
/usr/dt/man
For C shell users, the MANPATH
variable can be set individually by users in their shell initialization files or globally by administrators in site-wide shell initialization files. To set the MANPATH
variable,
enter:
% setenv MANPATH="/usr/dt/man:/usr/openwin/man:/usr/man:$MANPATH" |
To check a system's current MANPATH
setting, enter:
% echo $MANPATH |
This command displays the three paths mentioned above and any other paths to man pages at your site.
