       man - an interface to the system reference manuals

SYNOPSIS

       man [man options] [[section] page ...] ...
       man -k [apropos options] regexp ...
       man -K [man options] [section] term ...
       man -k [apropos tilvalg] regexp ...
       man -l [man options] file ...
       man -w|-W [man options] page ...

BESKRIVELSE

man is the system's manual pager. Each page argument given to man is normally the name of
a program, utility or function. The manual page associated with each of these arguments
is then found and displayed. A section, if provided, will direct man to look only in that
section of the manual. The default action is to search in all of the available sections
following a pre-defined order (see DEFAULTS), and to show only the first page found, even
if page exists in several sections.

Tabellen nedenfor viser section-antallet af manualen efterfulgt af typen af sider de
indeholder.

1 Kørbare programmer eller skalkommandoer
2 Systemkald (funktioner stillet til rådighed af kernen)
3 Bibliotekskald (funktioner i programbiblioteker)
4 Specielle filer (normalt fundet i /dev)
5 File formats and conventions, e.g. /etc/passwd
6 Spil
7 Miscellaneous (including macro packages and conventions), e.g. man(7), groff(7),
man-pages(7)
8 Kommandoer til systemadministration (normalt kun for root)
9 Kernerutiner [Ikkestandard]

En manualside består af flere afsnit.

Konventionelle afsnitsnavne inkluderer NAVN, SYNOPSIS, KONFIGURATION, BESKRIVELSE,
TILVALG, AFSLUT-STATUS, RETURVÆRDI, FEJL, MILJØ, FILER, VERSIONER, KONFORMERER TIL, NOTER,
FEJL, EKSEMPEL, FORFATTERE, og SE OGSÅ.

De følgende konventioner gælder for afsnittet SYNOPSIS og kan bruges som en vejledning i
andre afsnit.

fed tekst skriv præcis som vist.
kursiv erstat med passende argument.
[-abc] et eller alle argumenter inden i [ ] er valgfrie.
-a|-b tilvalg afgrænset af | kan ikke bruges sammen.
argument ... argument kan gentages.
[udtryk] ... hele udtrykket indenfor [ ] kan gentages.

Præcis optegning kan afhænge af uddataenheden. For eksempel vil man normalt ikke kunne
optegne kursiv når man befinder sig i en manual, og man vil normalt bruge understregning
eller farvelagt tekst i stedet for.

The command or function illustration is a pattern that should match all possible
invocations. In some cases it is advisable to illustrate several exclusive invocations as
is shown in the SYNOPSIS section of this manual page.

EKSEMPLER

       man ls
           Vis manualsiden for punkt (program) ls.

       man man.7
           Display the manual page for macro package man from section 7.  (This is an alternative
           spelling of "man 7 man".)

       man 'man(7)'
           Display the manual page for macro package  man  from  section  7.   (This  is  another
           alternative  spelling  of  "man  7  man".   It may be more convenient when copying and
           pasting cross-references to manual pages.  Note that the parentheses must normally  be
           quoted to protect them from the shell.)

       man -a intro
           Vis,  i  rækkefølge,  alle de tilgængelige intro-manualsider indeholdt i denne manual.
           Det er muligt at afbryde mellem successive visninger eller udelade nogle af dem.

       man -t bash | lpr -Pps
           Format the manual page for bash into the default troff or groff format and pipe it  to
           the printer named ps.  The default output for groff is usually PostScript.  man --help
           should advise as to which processor is bound to the -t option.

       man -l -Tdvi ./foo.1x.gz > ./foo.1x.dvi
           This command will decompress and format the nroff source manual page ./foo.1x.gz  into
           a  device  independent (dvi) file.  The redirection is necessary as the -T flag causes
           output to be directed to stdout with no pager.  The output  could  be  viewed  with  a
           program  such  as  xdvi  or  further processed into PostScript using a program such as
           dvips.

       man -k printf
           Søg i de korte beskrivelser og navnene på  manualsiderne  for  nøgleordet  printf  som
           regulært udtryk. Udskriv resultaterne. Svarer til apropos printf.

       man -f smail
           Slå  manualsiderne  refereret  af smail op og vis den korte beskrivelse for det fundne
           resultat. Svarer til whatis smail.

OVERBLIK

       Mange tilvalg er tilgængelige for man for at give så meget fleksibilitet  som  muligt  for
       slutbrugeren.  Ændringer kan ske for søgestien, afsnitrækkefølge, uddataprocessor og anden
       opførsel og operationer detaljeret nedenfor.

       If set, various environment variables are interrogated to determine the operation of  man.
       It  is  possible  to  set  the  "catch-all" variable $MANOPT to any string in command line
       format, with the exception that any spaces used as part of an option's  argument  must  be
       escaped  (preceded  by  a  backslash).   man  will  parse $MANOPT prior to parsing its own
       command line.  Those options requiring an argument will be overridden by the same  options
       found  on  the  command  line.   To  reset  all  of  the options set in $MANOPT, -D can be
       specified as the initial command line option.  This will allow man to "forget"  about  the
       options specified in $MANOPT, although they must still have been valid.

       Manual  pages  are  normally  stored  in  nroff(1)   format  under  a  directory  such  as
       /usr/share/man.  In some installations, there  may  also  be  preformatted  cat  pages  to
       improve performance.  See manpath(5)  for details of where these files are stored.

       This  package  supports manual pages in multiple languages, controlled by your locale.  If
       your system did not set  this  up  for  you  automatically,  then  you  may  need  to  set
       $LC_MESSAGES,  $LANG,  or  another  system-dependent environment variable to indicate your
       preferred locale, usually specified in the POSIX format:

       <language>[_<territory>[.<tegnsæt>[,<version>]]]

       Hvis den ønskede side er tilgængelig i  dit  sprog,  vil  den  blive  vist  i  stedet  for
       standardsiden (normalt amerikansk-engelsk).

       If  you  find  that  the translations supplied with this package are not available in your
       native language and you would like to supply them, please contact the maintainer who  will
       be coordinating such activity.

       Individual  manual  pages  are  normally  written and maintained by the maintainers of the
       program, function, or other topic that they document,  and  are  not  included  with  this
       package.   If  you find that a manual page is missing or inadequate, please report that to
       the maintainers of the package in question.

STANDARDER

       The  order of sections to search may be overridden by the environment variable $MANSECT or
       by the SECTION directive in /etc/manpath.config.  By default it is as follows:

              1 n l 8 3 0 2 3posix 3pm 3perl 3am 5 4 9 6 7

       The formatted manual page is displayed using a pager.  This can be specified in  a  number
       of ways, or else will fall back to a default (see option -P for details).

       Filtrene  tydes  vis  et  antal  metoder.  Først  tydes  kommandolinjetilvalget  -p  eller
       miljøvariablen $MANROFFSEQ. Hvis -p ikke blev brugt og miljøvariablen ikke var angivet, så
       fortolkes  opstartslinjen  for  nroff-filen  for en forbrænderstrenge. For at indeholde en
       gyldig forbrænderstreng, så skal den første linje ligne

       '\" <string>

       Hvor streng kan være enhver kombination af bogstaver beskrevet af tilvalget -p nedenfor.

       Hvis ingen af de ovenstående metoder giver filterinformation, så bruges et standardsæt.

       A formatting pipeline is formed from the filters  and  the  primary  formatter  (nroff  or
       [tg]roff  with  -t)  and executed.  Alternatively, if an executable program mandb_nfmt (or
       mandb_tfmt with -t)  exists in the man tree root, it is executed instead.  It gets  passed
       the  manual source file, the preprocessor string, and optionally the device specified with
       -T or -E as arguments.

TILVALG

Non-argument options that are duplicated either on the command line, in $MANOPT, or both,
are not harmful. For options that require an argument, each duplication will override the
previous argument value.

Generelle tilvalg
-C fil, --config-file=fil
Brug denne brugerkonfigurationsfil frem for standarden ~/.manpath.

-d, --debug
Vis fejlsøgningsinformation.

-D, --default
Dette tilvalg udstedes normalt som det første tilvalg og nulstiller man's opførsel
til standarden. Dets brug er at nulstille disse tilvalg, som måske er angivet i
$MANOPT. Ethvert tilvalg som følger -D vil have deres normale effekt.

--warnings[=advarsler]
Aktiver advarsler fra groff. Dette kan gøres for at udføre sanitetskontrol på
kildetekst for manualsider. advarsler er en kommaadskilt liste med advarselsnavne;
hvis den ikke er angivet, er standarden »mac«. Se “Warnings” node i info groff for
en liste over tilgængelige advarselsnavne.

Hovedtilstande for operation
-f, --whatis
Svarer til whatis. Vis en kort beskrivelse fra manualsiden, hvis tilgængelig. Se
whatis(1) for detaljer.

-k, --apropos
Svarer til apropos. Søg i de korte manualsidebeskrivelser for nøgleord og vis alle
match. Se apropos(1) for detaljer.

-K, --global-apropos
Search for text in all manual pages. This is a brute-force search, and is likely
to take some time; if you can, you should specify a section to reduce the number of
pages that need to be searched. Search terms may be simple strings (the default),
or regular expressions if the --regex option is used.

Note that this searches the sources of the manual pages, not the rendered text, and
so may include false positives due to things like comments in source files.
Searching the rendered text would be much slower.

-l, --local-file
Activate "local" mode. Format and display local manual files instead of searching
through the system's manual collection. Each manual page argument will be
interpreted as an nroff source file in the correct format. No cat file is
produced. If '-' is listed as one of the arguments, input will be taken from
stdin. When this option is not used, and man fails to find the page required,
before displaying the error message, it attempts to act as if this option was
supplied, using the name as a filename and looking for an exact match.

-w, --where, --path, --location
Don't actually display the manual page, but do print the location of the source
nroff file that would be formatted. If the -a option is also used, then print the
locations of all source files that match the search criteria.

-W, --where-cat, --location-cat
Don't actually display the manual page, but do print the location of the
preformatted cat file that would be displayed. If the -a option is also used, then
print the locations of all preformatted cat files that match the search criteria.

If -w and -W are both used, then print both source file and cat file separated by a
space. If all of -w, -W, and -a are used, then do this for each possible match.

-c, --catman
Dette tilvalg er ikke for generel brug og bør kun bruges af programmet catman.

-R kodning, --recode=kodning
Instead of formatting the manual page in the usual way, output its source converted
to the specified encoding. If you already know the encoding of the source file,
you can also use manconv(1) directly. However, this option allows you to convert
several manual pages to a single encoding without having to explicitly state the
encoding of each, provided that they were already installed in a structure similar
to a manual page hierarchy.

Consider using man-recode(1) instead for converting multiple manual pages, since
it has an interface designed for bulk conversion and so can be much faster.

Finde manualsider
-L sprog, --locale=sprog
man vil normalt bestemme dit lokale sprog med et kald til C-funktionen
setlocale(3), som undersøger diverse miljøvariabler, muligvis inklusive
$LC_MESSAGES og $LANG. For midlertidigt at overskrive den afslørede værdi bruges
dette tilvalg til at supplere en sprog-streng direkte til man. Bemærk at det ikke
vil træde i kraft før søgningen efter sider rent faktisk begynder. Resultatet såsom
hjælpebeskeden vil altid blive vist i det oprindeligt bestemte sprog.

-m system[,...], --systems=system[,...]
If this system has access to other operating systems' manual pages, they can be
accessed using this option. To search for a manual page from NewOS's manual page
collection, use the option -m NewOS.

Det angivet system kan være en kombination af kommaadskilt operativsystemnavne. For
at inkludere en søgning i manualsiderne for udgangspunktets operativsystem
inkluderes systemnavnet man i argumentstrengen. Dette tilvalg vil overskrive
miljøvariablen $SYSTEM.

-M sti, --manpath=sti
Angiv en alternativ manualsti. Som standard bruger man manpath-afledt kode til at
bestemme søgestien. Dette tilvalg overskriver miljøvariablen $MANPATH og medfører
at tilvalget -m ignoreres.

A path specified as a manpath must be the root of a manual page hierarchy
structured into sections as described in the man-db manual (under "The manual page
system"). To view manual pages outside such hierarchies, see the -l option.

-S list, -s list, --sections=list
The given list is a colon- or comma-separated list of sections, used to determine
which manual sections to search and in what order. This option overrides the
$MANSECT environment variable. (The -s spelling is for compatibility with System
V.)

-e sub-extension, --extension=sub-extension
Some systems incorporate large packages of manual pages, such as those that
accompany the Tcl package, into the main manual page hierarchy. To get around the
problem of having two manual pages with the same name such as exit(3), the Tcl
pages were usually all assigned to section l. As this is unfortunate, it is now
possible to put the pages in the correct section, and to assign a specific
"extension" to them, in this case, exit(3tcl). Under normal operation, man will
display exit(3) in preference to exit(3tcl). To negotiate this situation and to
avoid having to know which section the page you require resides in, it is now
possible to give man a sub-extension string indicating which package the page must
belong to. Using the above example, supplying the option -e tcl to man will
restrict the search to pages having an extension of *tcl.

-i, --ignore-case
Ignore case when searching for manual pages. This is the default.

-I, --match-case
Search for manual pages case-sensitively.

--regex
Show all pages with any part of either their names or their descriptions matching
each page argument as a regular expression, as with apropos(1). Since there is
usually no reasonable way to pick a "best" page when searching for a regular
expression, this option implies -a.

--wildcard
Show all pages with any part of either their names or their descriptions matching
each page argument using shell-style wildcards, as with apropos(1) --wildcard.
The page argument must match the entire name or description, or match on word
boundaries in the description. Since there is usually no reasonable way to pick a
"best" page when searching for a wildcard, this option implies -a.

--names-only
Hvis enten tilvalget --regex eller --wildcard bruges, match kun sidenavne, ikke
sidebeskrivelser, som med whatis(1). Ellers, ingen effekt.

-a, --all
Som standard vil man afslutte efter visning af den mest egnet manualside den
finder. Brug af dette tilvalg tvinger man til at vise alle manualsiderne med navne
som matcher søgekriteriet.

-u, --update
This option causes man to update its database caches of installed manual pages.
This is only needed in rare situations, and it is normally better to run mandb(8)
instead.

--no-subpages
By default, man will try to interpret pairs of manual page names given on the
command line as equivalent to a single manual page name containing a hyphen or an
underscore. This supports the common pattern of programs that implement a number
of subcommands, allowing them to provide manual pages for each that can be accessed
using similar syntax as would be used to invoke the subcommands themselves. For
example:

$ man -aw git diff
/usr/share/man/man1/git-diff.1.gz

For at deaktivere denne opførsel så brug tilvalget --no-subpages.

$ man -aw --no-subpages git diff
/usr/share/man/man1/git.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/Git.3pm.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/diff.1.gz

Kontrol af formateret resultat
-P tekstviser, --pager=tekstviser
Specify which output pager to use. By default, man uses pager, falling back to cat
if pager is not found or is not executable. This option overrides the $MANPAGER
environment variable, which in turn overrides the $PAGER environment variable. It
is not used in conjunction with -f or -k.

The value may be a simple command name or a command with arguments, and may use
shell quoting (backslashes, single quotes, or double quotes). It may not use pipes
to connect multiple commands; if you need that, use a wrapper script, which may
take the file to display either as an argument or on standard input.

-r prompt, --prompt=prompt
Hvis en nylig version af less bruges som tekstsøger, så vil man forsøge at angive
den på sin prompt og vælge nogle fornuftige tilvalg. Standardprompten ser således
ud

Manualside navn(sec) line x

hvor navn benvæner manualsidenavnet, sektion benævner sektionen den blev fundet
under og x det nuværende linjenummer. Dette opnås ved at bruge miljøvariablen
$LESS.

Supplying -r with a string will override this default. The string may contain the
text $MAN_PN which will be expanded to the name of the current manual page and its
section name surrounded by "(" and ")". The string used to produce the default
could be expressed as

\ Manual\ page\ \$MAN_PN\ ?ltline\ %lt?L/%L.:
byte\ %bB?s/%s..?\ (END):?pB\ %pB\\%..
(tryk h for hjælp eller q for afslut)

It is broken into three lines here for the sake of readability only. For its
meaning see the less(1) manual page. The prompt string is first evaluated by the
shell. All double quotes, back-quotes and backslashes in the prompt must be
escaped by a preceding backslash. The prompt string may end in an escaped $ which
may be followed by further options for less. By default man sets the -ix8 options.

The $MANLESS environment variable described below may be used to set a default
prompt string if none is supplied on the command line.

-7, --ascii
When viewing a pure ascii(7) manual page on a 7 bit terminal or terminal emulator,
some characters may not display correctly when using the latin1(7) device
description with GNU nroff. This option allows pure ascii manual pages to be
displayed in ascii with the latin1 device. It will not translate any latin1 text.
The following table shows the translations performed: some parts of it may only be
displayed properly when using GNU nroff's latin1(7) device.

Beskrivelse Oktal latin1 ascii
─────────────────────────────────────────────
continuation hyphen 255 ‐ -
bullet (middle dot) 267 • o
acute accent 264 ´ '
multiplication sign 327 × x

If the latin1 column displays correctly, your terminal may be set up for latin1
characters and this option is not necessary. If the latin1 and ascii columns are
identical, you are reading this page using this option or man did not format this
page using the latin1 device description. If the latin1 column is missing or
corrupt, you may need to view manual pages with this option.

This option is ignored when using options -t, -H, -T, or -Z and may be useless for
nroff other than GNU's.

-E kodning, --encoding=kodning
Generate output for a character encoding other than the default. For backward
compatibility, encoding may be an nroff device such as ascii, latin1, or utf8 as
well as a true character encoding such as UTF-8.

--no-hyphenation, --nh
Normally, nroff will automatically hyphenate text at line breaks even in words that
do not contain hyphens, if it is necessary to do so to lay out words on a line
without excessive spacing. This option disables automatic hyphenation, so words
will only be hyphenated if they already contain hyphens.

If you are writing a manual page and simply want to prevent nroff from hyphenating
a word at an inappropriate point, do not use this option, but consult the nroff
documentation instead; for instance, you can put "\%" inside a word to indicate
that it may be hyphenated at that point, or put "\%" at the start of a word to
prevent it from being hyphenated.

--no-justification, --nj
Normally, nroff will automatically justify text to both margins. This option
disables full justification, leaving justified only to the left margin, sometimes
called "ragged-right" text.

If you are writing a manual page and simply want to prevent nroff from justifying
certain paragraphs, do not use this option, but consult the nroff documentation
instead; for instance, you can use the ".na", ".nf", ".fi", and ".ad" requests to
temporarily disable adjusting and filling.

-p streng, --preprocessor=streng
Specify the sequence of preprocessors to run before nroff or troff/groff. Not all
installations will have a full set of preprocessors. Some of the preprocessors and
the letters used to designate them are: eqn (e), grap (g), pic (p), tbl (t), vgrind
(v), refer (r). This option overrides the $MANROFFSEQ environment variable.
zsoelim is always run as the very first preprocessor.

-t, --troff
Brug groff -mandoc til at formatere manualsiden til standardud. Tilvalget er ikke
krævet sammen med -H, -T eller -Z.

-T[enhed], --troff-device[=enhed]
Denne indstilling bruges til at ændre groff-resultater (eller muligvis troff'er),
så de er egnet for en enhed udover standarden. -t er underforstået. Eksempler
(indeholdt med Groff-1.17) inkluderer dvi, latin1, ps, utf8, X75 og X100.

-H[browser], --html[=browser]
This option will cause groff to produce HTML output, and will display that output
in a web browser. The choice of browser is determined by the optional browser
argument if one is provided, by the $BROWSER environment variable, or by a
compile-time default if that is unset (usually lynx). This option implies -t, and
will only work with GNU troff.

-X[dpi], --gxditview[=dpi]
This option displays the output of groff in a graphical window using the gxditview
program. The dpi (dots per inch) may be 75, 75-12, 100, or 100-12, defaulting to
75; the -12 variants use a 12-point base font. This option implies -T with the
X75, X75-12, X100, or X100-12 device respectively.

-Z, --ditroff
groff vil køre troff og så bruge en passende efterbrænder til at fremstille et
resultat egnet for den valgte enhed. Hvis groff -mandoc er groff, så vil dette
tilvalg sendes til groff og vil undertrykke brugen af en efterbrænder. -t er
underforstået.

MILJØ

MANPATH
If $MANPATH is set, its value is used as the path to search for manual pages.

See the SEARCH PATH section of manpath(5) for the default behaviour and details of
how this environment variable is handled.

MANROFFOPT
Every time man invokes the formatter (nroff, troff, or groff), it adds the contents
of $MANROFFOPT to the formatter's command line.

MANROFFSEQ
If $MANROFFSEQ is set, its value is used to determine the set of preprocessors to
pass each manual page through. The default preprocessor list is system dependent.

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
n l 8 3 0 2 3posix 3pm 3perl 3am 5 4 9 6 7", unless overridden by the SECTION
directive in /etc/manpath.config.

MANPAGER, PAGER
If $MANPAGER or $PAGER is set ($MANPAGER is used in preference), its value is used
as the name of the program used to display the manual page. By default, pager is
used, falling back to cat if pager is not found or is not executable.

MANLESS
If $MANLESS is set, its value will be used as the default prompt string for the
less pager, as if it had been passed using the -r option (so any occurrences of the
text $MAN_PN will be expanded in the same way). For example, if you want to set
the prompt string unconditionally to “my prompt string”, set $MANLESS to
‘-Psmy prompt string’. Using the -r option overrides this environment variable.

BROWSER
If $BROWSER is set, its value is a colon-delimited list of commands, each of which
in turn is used to try to start a web browser for man --html. In each command, %s
is replaced by a filename containing the HTML output from groff, %% is replaced by
a single percent sign (%), and %c is replaced by a colon (:).

SYSTEM Hvis $SYSTEM er angivet, vil det have den samme effekt, som hvis den var blevet
angivet som argument for tilvalget -m.

MANOPT If $MANOPT is set, it will be parsed prior to man's command line and is expected to
be in a similar format. As all of the other man specific environment variables can
be expressed as command line options, and are thus candidates for being included in
$MANOPT it is expected that they will become obsolete. N.B. All spaces that
should be interpreted as part of an option's argument must be escaped.

MANWIDTH
If $MANWIDTH is set, its value is used as the line length for which manual pages
should be formatted. If it is not set, manual pages will be formatted with a line
length appropriate to the current terminal (using the value of $COLUMNS, and
ioctl(2) if available, or falling back to 80 characters if neither is available).
Cat pages will only be saved when the default formatting can be used, that is when
the terminal line length is between 66 and 80 characters.

MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING
Normally, when output is not being directed to a terminal (such as to a file or a
pipe), formatting characters are discarded to make it easier to read the result
without special tools. However, if $MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING is set to any non-empty
value, these formatting characters are retained. This may be useful for wrappers
around man that can interpret formatting characters.

MAN_KEEP_STDERR
Normally, when output is being directed to a terminal (usually to a pager), any
error output from the command used to produce formatted versions of manual pages is
discarded to avoid interfering with the pager's display. Programs such as groff
often produce relatively minor error messages about typographical problems such as
poor alignment, which are unsightly and generally confusing when displayed along
with the manual page. However, some users want to see them anyway, so, if
$MAN_KEEP_STDERR is set to any non-empty value, error output will be displayed as
usual.

MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP
On Linux, man normally confines subprocesses that handle untrusted data using a
seccomp(2) sandbox. This makes it safer to run complex parsing code over
arbitrary manual pages. If this goes wrong for some reason unrelated to the
content of the page being displayed, you can set $MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP to any
non-empty value to disable the sandbox.

PIPELINE_DEBUG
If the $PIPELINE_DEBUG environment variable is set to "1", then man will print
debugging messages to standard error describing each subprocess it runs.

Afhængig af system og implementering, vil enten en af eller begge $LANG og
$LC_MESSAGES blive spurgt for den aktuelle beskeds sprog. man vil vise dets

detaljer.
