  NAME

    manlist, smanlist, amanlist - Database for vman command

  DESCRIPTION

    The /usr/ip32/sysvdoc/manlist, /usr/ip32/sysvdoc/smanlist, and
    /usr/ip32/sysvdoc/amanlist files contain information on reference manual
    entries in the online reference product.  The information in these files
    comprises a database used for searches within the vman interface.

    Each line in the file has the following format:

    name#section#manual#description#cross_references#location#

    The fields in each line are defined as follows:

    name               Name of a command, function, or file.  This is the
                       naming information shown in the NAME line of an online
                       reference manual entry.  If related commands, files, or
                       functions are documented in a single entry, their names
                       are separated by a comma and a space.  If an entry has
                       only one name but documents several commands, the name
                       of the entry is followed by a colon and a space.

    section            Number of the reference manual section in which the
                       commands, functions, or files are located.

    manual             Reference manual in which the entry is located.  Valid
                       choices are a (Administrator's Reference), p
                       (Programmer's Reference), and u (User's Reference).

    description        Brief description of the command, function, or file.
                       This is the description shown in the NAME line of an
                       online reference manual entry.  If related commands,
                       files, or functions are documented in a single entry,
                       the description applies to all of the documented
                       commands, files, or functions.

    cross_references   List of other entries related to the specified entry.
                       The cross-references are separated by commas, and must
                       be in the following format:

                       name(section)


    location           Full pathname to the file in the online reference
                       product that contains the reference manual entry.

  EXAMPLES




  2/94 - Intergraph Corporation                                              1

  manlist(4)                          CLIX                          manlist(4)



    In each of the following examples, the entries in the file are actually on
    a single line with no embedded newlines.

    1.  This example is an entry with just one name:

        fmu#1#u#network file management utility#rpipe(1),fmus(1),cat(1),ls(1),
        rm(1),sh(1)#/usr/ip32/sysvdoc/catman/u_man/man1/fmu.1#


    2.  This example is an entry with more than one name:

        sh, rsh#1#u#shell, the standard/restricted command programming language#
        cd(1),echo(1),env(1)getopts(1)#/usr/ip32/sysvdoc/catman/u_man/man1/sh.1#


    3.  This example is an entry that has one name with many commands:

        trig: sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, atan2#3#p#trigonometric
        functions#matherr(3)#/usr/ip32/sysvdoc/catman/p_man/man3/trig.3m#


  CAUTIONS

    To enable vman to search for information on locally created reference
    manual entries, do not manually add entries to any of these files.
    Instead, use the newpage utility to add a line for each local entry to the
    /usr/ip32/sysvdoc/smanlist file.
