1.7 Man Pages

Online manual (man) pages provide immediate documentation about a command, function, subroutine, or collection of such things. The user's MANPATH environment variable should be set to the path to the installed Solaris Studio man directory to access the Oracle Solaris Studio man pages.

You can display a man page by running the command:

demo% man topic

Throughout the Fortran documentation, man page references appear with the topic name and man section number: f95(1) is accessed with man f95. 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

The Fortran library routines are documented in the man page section 3F.

The following lists man pages of interest to Fortran users:

`f95`(1)	The Fortran 95 command-line options
`analyzer`(1)	Solaris Studio Performance Analyzer
`asa`(1)	Fortran carriage-control print output post-processor
`dbx`(1)	Command-line interactive debugger
`fpp`(1)	Fortran source code pre-processor
`cpp`(1)	C source code pre-processor
`fdumpmod`(1)	Display contents of a MODULE (`.mod`) file.
`fsplit`(1)	Pre-processor splits Fortran source routines into single files
`ieee_flags`(3M)	Examine, set, or clear floating-point exception bits
`ieee_handler`(3M)	Handle floating-point exceptions
`matherr`(3M)	Math library error handling routine
`ld`(1)	Link editor for object files
