BESCHRIJVING
catman is used to create an up to date set of pre-formatted manual
pages known as cat pages. Cat pages are generally much faster to display
than the original manual pages, but require extra storage space. The
decision to support cat pages is that of the local administrator, who must
provide suitable directories to contain them.
The options available to catman are the manual page hierarchies and
sections to pre-format. The default hierarchies are those specified as
system hierarchies in the man-db configuration file, and the default
sections are either the colon-delimited contents of the environment variable
$MANSECT or the standard set compiled into man if $MANSECT is
undefined. Supplying catman with a set of whitespace-delimited section
names will override both of the above.
catman makes use of the index database cache associated with each
hierarchy to determine which files need to be formatted.
OPTIES
- -d, --debug
-
Foutinformatie tonen.
- -M pad, --manpath=pad

configuration file.

OMGEVING
- MANSECT
-
If $MANSECT is set, its value is a colon-delimited list of sections and
it is used to determine which manual sections to search and in what order.
The default is "1 1p 8 2 3 3p 3pm 4 5 6 7 9 0p n l p o 1x 2x 3x 4x 5x 6x 7x 8x", unless overridden by the SECTION directive
in /etc/man_db.conf.
- MANPATH
-
Wanneer $MANPATH is opgegeven, wordt de waarde geïnterpreteerd als een
zoekpad van dubbelepuntgescheiden hiërarchie van man-pagina's.
BESTANDEN
- /etc/man_db.conf
-
man-db-configuratiebestand.
- /usr/man/index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
-
Een traditionele, algemene index-database-cache.
- /var/catman/index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
-
An alternate or FSSTND compliant global index database cache.
