Localizing Reference Pages
Localizing Reference Pages
HP provides a set of reference pages appropriate for the en_US.ISO8859-1 locale in
the default MANPATH environment variable value /usr/share/man.
Access to reference pages is not controlled through locale variables. However, you can
provide users of other locales with equivalent sets of reference pages that have been
translated into the language corresponding to a locale. You do this by setting the value
of a MANPATH environment variable in either the /etc/profile file or the default
.profile file.
If you have translations of reference pages, you can put them in any directory and set
the MANPATH variable to the corresponding value. The best practice is to put each
translated set into its own reference page fileset.
Provide a MANPATH environment variable value for the directory of each language for
which you supply reference pages. For example, suppose your site has users of the
ja_JP.AJEC locale. You could define a fileset that is mounted at the directory man in
directory /usr/EUC and then specify the following in your default .profile file:
setenv MANPATH /usr/EUC/man
The directory /usr/EUC/man would contain Japanese translations of reference pages
in its subdirectories. To allow access to the translated reference pages first and then
the versions provided by HP, you would specify:
setenv MANPATH /usr/EUC/man:/usr/share/man
Monitoring the OSS Environment With the
Shell
Potential problems that you might want to monitor using the shell include:
•
Slow performance
•
Overuse of resources
The examples given in this subsection are not exhaustive. You might also want to
remove files from directories that expand automatically, as discussed in Controlling the
Growth of Directories on page 9-8.
