.Dd May 11, 2002 .Dt CATMAN 1 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm catman .Nd "preformat man pages" .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl fnrvL .Op Ar directories ... .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm utility preformats all the man pages in .Ar directories using the .Nm nroff Fl man command. Directories may be separated by colons instead of spaces. If no .Ar directories are specified, the contents of the .Ev MANPATH environment variable is used, or if that is not set, the default directory
a /usr/share/man is processed.
p The options are as follows: l -tag -width indent t Fl f Force all man pages to be reformatted even if the corresponding cat page is newer. t Fl L Process only localized subdirectories corresponding to the locale specified in the standard environment variables. t Fl n Print out what would be done instead of performing any formatting. t Fl r Scan for and remove .Dq junk files that are neither man pages nor their corresponding formatted cat pages. t Fl v Cause .Nm to be more verbose about what it is doing. .El .Sh ENVIRONMENT l -tag -width ".Ev MANPATH" -compact t Ev LC_ALL , LC_CTYPE , LANG These variables control what subdirectories will be processed if the .Fl L option is used. t Ev MANPATH Determines the set of directories to be processed if none are given on the command line. .El .Sh FILES l -tag -width ".Pa /usr/share/man" -compact t Pa /usr/share/man Default directory to process if the .Ev MANPATH environment variable is not set. .El .Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Ex -std .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr makewhatis 1 , .Xr man 1 , .Xr nroff 1 .Sh HISTORY A previous version of the .Nm command appeared in .Fx 2.1 . .Sh AUTHORS .An John Rochester .
