catman(1M) catman(1M)
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.
