catman - create or update the pre-formatted manual pages
SAMENVATTING
catman [-dhV] [-M path] [-C file] [section] ...
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
Specify an alternate colon-delimited manual page hierarchy
search path. By default, this is all paths indicated as system
hierarchies in the man-db configuration file.
-C bestand, --config-file=bestand
Gebruik dit gebruikersconfiguratiebestand in plaats van de
standaard van ~/.manpath.
-h, --help
Een hulptekst tonen en stoppen.
-V, --version
Versieinformatie tonen.
OMGEVING
MANSECT
Als $MANSECT insteld is, wordt deze dubbelpuntgescheiden lijst
met secties gebruikt om te bepalen welke man-paginasecties
doorzocht worden, en in welke volgorde.
MANPATH
Wanneer $MANPATH is opgegeven, wordt de waarde geinterpreteerd
als een zoekpad van dubbelepuntgescheiden hierarchie van
man-pagina's.
