MAN(1)                   DOMAIN/IX SYS5                    MAN(1)



NAME
     man - print entries in this manual

USAGE
     man [ options ] [ section ] title(s)

DESCRIPTION
     Man locates and prints the manual page(s) specified by the
     title argument.  If you also specify a section, man looks
     for the title only in the section indicated (otherwise, it
     searches the whole manual).  You must enter the title in
     lowercase, and the section number may not have a letter suf-
     fix.

     Man examines the environment variable $TERM and attempts to
     select options that adapt the output to the terminal being
     used.  Refer to environ(5) for more information.  The -Tterm
     option overrides the value of $TERM.

     Section may be changed before each title.

OPTIONS
     -Tterm    Print the entry as appropriate for terminal type
               term.  For a list of recognized values of term,
               type help term2.  Also refer to term(5) for
               further details.  The default value of term is
               450.

     -w        Print on the standard output only the pathnames of
               the entries, relative to /usr/catman, or to the
               current directory for -d option.

     -d        Search the current directory rather than
               /usr/catman.  This option requires that you
               specify the full filename (e.g., cu.1c, rather
               than just cu).

     -c        Invoke col(1).  This is done automatically, unless
               term is one of the following: 300, 300s, 450, 37,
               4000a, 382, 4014, tek, 1620, and X.

CAUTIONS
     Man prints manual entries that were formatted by nroff(1)
     when the UNIX system was installed.  Entries are originally
     formatted with terminal type 37, and are printed using the
     correct terminal filters as derived from the -Tterm and
     $TERM settings.  Certain typesetting or other nonstandard
     printing of manual entries may require installation of the
     UNIX System V Documenter's Workbench Software (not currently
     supported by Apollo).  Check the DOMAIN/IX Text Processing
