man(C) man(C) _N_a_m_e man - print reference pages in this guide _S_y_n_t_a_x mmaann [ --aaffbbccww ] [ --tt_pp_rr_oo_cc ] [ --pp_pp_aa_gg_ee_rr ] [ --dd_dd_ii_rr ] [ --TT_tt_ee_rr_mm ] [ _ss_ee_cc_tt_ii_oo_nn ] [ _tt_ii_tt_ll_ee ] //uussrr//lliibb//mmaannpprroogg _ff_ii_ll_ee _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n The mmaann program locates and prints the named _tt_ii_tt_ll_ee from the designated reference _ss_ee_cc_tt_ii_oo_nn. For historical reasons, ``page'' is often used as a synonym for ``entry'' in this context. Since UNIX commands are given in lowercase, the _tt_ii_tt_ll_ee is always entered in lowercase. If no _ss_ee_cc_tt_ii_oo_nn is specified, the whole guide is searched for _tt_ii_tt_ll_ee and the first occurrence of it is printed. You can search for a group of sections by separating the section names with colons (:) on the command line. (The only exceptions to the lowercase rule are the ``introduction'' (Intro) pages. These pages describe the contents of their respective sec- tions; they are not UNIX commands as such.) The options and their meanings are: --aa ``All'' mode. Displays all matching titles. Incompatible with the --ff option. --ff ``First'' mode. Displays only the first matching title. Incom- patible with --aa option. This is the default mode for mmaann. --bb Leaves blank lines in output. nnrrooffff(CT) pads entries with blank lines for line printer purposes. mmaann normally filters out these excess blank lines. Normally, mmaann does not display more than 2 consecutive blank lines. The --bb flag leaves blank lines in the CRT output. --cc Causes mmaann to invoke ccooll(C). Note that ccooll is invoked auto- matically by mmaann unless _tt_ee_rr_mm is one of the following: 330000, 330000ss, 445500, 3377, 44000000aa, 338822, 44001144, tteekk, 11662200, or XX. --ww Prints on the standard output _o_n_l_y the pathnames of the entries. --tt_pp_rr_oo_cc Indicates that if an unprocessed manual page is available, it is to be passed to _pp_rr_oo_cc for formatting. _pp_rr_oo_cc can be any com- mand script in /_u_s_r/_m_a_n/_b_i_n or an absolute filename of a text processing program elsewhere on the system, for example //bbiinn//nnrrooffff. The scripts in /_u_s_r/_m_a_n/_b_i_n invoke the actual pro- cessing programs with the correct flags and arguments. The default processor is //uussrr//mmaann//bbiinn//nnrr, which invokes //bbiinn//nnrrooffff
