Trusted Solaris 8 HW 12/02 Roadmap

Online Documentation and Man Pages

Online help is provided in the Trusted Solaris operating environment. The Front Panel help icon provides help when you use CDE. The Solaris Management Console help system provides help when you use the administration graphical user interface. This online help describes the Trusted Solaris modifications of CDE and the Solaris Management Console.

An extensive library of man pages for the Trusted Solaris operating environment is available in the Trusted Solaris 8 HW 12/02 Reference Manual. You can read man pages at the command line by using the man command.

Note –

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 HW 12/02 Reference Manual. The Trusted Solaris man page includes information that is unique to the Trusted Solaris operating environment.

Accessing Trusted Solaris Man Pages

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 include the following three directories:

If your site uses other directories for man pages, those directories must also be included in the man page path.

For C shell users, the MANPATH variable can be set individually by users in their shell initialization files. The variable can also be set globally by administrators in site-wide shell initialization files. To set the MANPATH variable, enter the following:


% setenv MANPATH="/usr/dt/man:/usr/openwin/man:/usr/man:$MANPATH"

To check a system's current MANPATH setting, enter:


% echo $MANPATH
/usr/dt/man:/usr/openwin/man:/usr/man:/opt/sun/man:/opt/doctools/man

This command displays the three paths that are previously mentioned, and displays any other paths to man pages at your site.
