During initialization, .Xr man 1 reads the configuration files located at .Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf and .Pa /etc/man.conf . .Pp The files contained in .Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf are intended to be used by the .Xr ports 7 system for extending the manual set to support additional paths and locales. .Pa /etc/man.conf is intended to be used by the local administrator to set additional policy. .Pp Currently supported configuration variables include: .Bl -tag -width 12n -offset indent .It MANCONFIG Overrides the default location to import additional manual configuration files. Defaults to .Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf . .It MANPATH Adds the specified directory to the manual search path. .It MANLOCALE Indicates support is available for the given locale. .El .Pp For pages in a given language, overriding the default toolset for display is supported via the following definitions: .Pp .Bl -tag -width 12n -offset indent -compact .It EQN Ns _ Ns Va LANG .It NROFF Ns _ Ns Va LANG .It PIC Ns _ Ns Va LANG .It TBL Ns _ Ns Va LANG .It TROFF Ns _ Ns Va LANG .It REFER Ns _ Ns Va LANG .It VGRIND Ns _ Ns Va LANG .El .Pp See the .Sx EXAMPLES section for how to use these variables. .Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES The parser used for this utility is very basic and only supports comment characters (#) at the beginning of a line. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width "Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf" -compact .It Pa /etc/man.conf System configuration file. .It Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf Local configuration files. .El .Sh EXAMPLES A perl port that needs to install additional manual pages outside of the default location could install a file in .Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/perl.conf with the following contents: .Bd -literal -offset indent # Add perl man pages to search path MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man MANPATH /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/perl/man .Ed .Pp A Japanese localization port could install a custom toolset and include a file in .Pa /usr/local/etc/man.d/ja-man-doc.conf with the following contents: .Bd -literal -offset indent # Setup Japanese toolset MANLOCALE ja_JP.eucJP EQN_JA /usr/local/bin/geqn PIC_JA /usr/local/bin/gpic TBL_JA /usr/local/bin/gtbl -NROFF_JA /usr/local/bin/groff -man -dlang=ja_JP.eucJP -TROFF_JA /usr/local/bin/groff -man -dlang=ja_JP.euc.jp +NROFF_JA /usr/local/bin/groff -mandoc -dlang=ja_JP.eucJP +TROFF_JA /usr/local/bin/groff -mandoc -dlang=ja_JP.euc.jp .Ed .Pp If the system administrator decides to override the .Va LOCALBASE .Xr make 1 variable causing all .Xr ports 7 to be installed into .Pa /opt instead of .Pa /usr/local , specifying the following in .Pa /etc/man.conf will accommodate this change: .Bd -literal -offset indent # Look for additional configuration files MANCONFIG /opt/etc/man.d/*.conf .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr apropos 1 , .Xr man 1 , .Xr manpath 1 , .Xr whatis 1
