PATH and MANPATH Variables

This section describes how to change your PATH and MANPATH variables to access the current release. See the section that describes the shell you use.

In the paths listed in this section, the default install-directory is /opt. If you indicated another installation directory when you installed your software tools, replace install-directory with the path to your installation directory. Do not type the backslash (\) in any of the paths in this section; the backslash indicates that the path must be typed as one line.

   SUNWste/license_tools/man:$MANPATH
