catman(1M) catman(1M)

EXAMPLES

Create uncompressed cat∗ ﬁles for sections 1 and 1m of the manual, but don’t create the

/usr/share/lib/whatis database:

catman -z -n 11m

Run catman from a server to create cat∗ entries for a diskless client under the alternate root

/export/shared_roots/OS_700:

catman -A /export/shared_roots/OS_700

This will create cat∗ manpages under:

/export/shared_roots/OS_700/usr/share/man/

/export/shared_roots/OS_700/usr/contrib/man/

/export/shared_roots/OS_700/usr/local/man/

and a whatis ﬁle in:

/export/shared_roots/OS_700/usr/share/lib/whatis

Create cat∗ entries for an application and merge the information with the

/usr/share/lib/whatis

database:

MANPATH=/opt/langtools/man

catman -m

Note that you may wish to save MANPATH before doing this, so as not to lose your current

MANPATH.
