Modifying the search path for reference pages
The standard man and xman commands can locate reference page files in various locations. These programs can use (but do not require) a search path specified by the MANPATH environment variable. If you want to read HCL VersionVault reference pages using these programs, add the HCL VersionVault man directory to your reference pages search path.
- Through the standard man command (Linux and UNIX system command-line interface)
- Through the standard xman command (X Window System graphical interface)
- Through the man subcommand built in to the cleartool program
On some systems such as those that do not have a full VersionVault installation, the reference documentation might be installed on a remote HCL VersionVault server. Before defining the search path in these environments, mount the directory for the server where the documentation is hosted.
Shell environment | Standard installation location (opt/hcl/ccm/versionvault ) |
Alternate installation location (/opt/vvault) |
---|---|---|
.cshrc (C shell) |
|
|
.profile (Bourne or Korn shell) |
|
|
/opt/hcl/ccm/versionvault
.If your shell startup file does not set the MANPATH environment variable, see the reference page for the man command to determine your system default search path for man pages. Then, set MANPATH accordingly in your shell startup script, just before the commands shown in the previous table.
# setenv MANPATH /usr/man:/usr/contrib/man:/usr/local/man
For Windows™, modifications to MANPATH are not required.
