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:

• /usr/man

• /usr/openwin/man

• /usr/dt/man

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.
