The symbolic link that is created: <br />/usr/catman/local -> /usr/local/man <br />allows all man pages developed for CRDSS to be installed in (which is a <br />/usr/local/man <br />directory that is commonly used for local man pages on UNIX machines) and also allows the man <br />command to look for man pages in a directory that it recognizes ( ). If the <br />/usr/catman/local <br />CRDSS is ported to a different platform, then an appropriate symbolic link can be made on that <br />platform, without having to reorganize the man pages to fit a specific system. An additional benefit <br />of moving local man pages out of the standard SGI locations is that is often on a <br />/usr/local <br />different file system than ; consequently, a large addition of local man pages will not fill up the <br />/usr <br />system disk. <br />man nroff <br />The compiled man page files recognized by the command on the SGI can be created from <br />pman <br />source files using the program written by RTi (Figure 2 presents the documentation for this <br />program). For example, to create a compiled man page from the source file ?mymanpage.1?: <br />pman -cat m=mymanpage.1 > mymanpage.1.cat <br />This example illustrates the general procedure by which CRDSS man pages are to be distributed to <br />CRDSS workstations: <br />1.The master copy of a man page source file will exist on the archive machine at RTi (see the <br />next section for a description of source code documentation). <br />pman pman <br />2.The program is used to create a compiled version of the man page. (The <br />program can also be used to create a PostScript or text version of the man page if <br />documentation is to be distributed in hard-copy form.) <br />3.The compiled man page is distributed to other CRDSS workstations and is installed in the <br />appropriate directory on that system. <br />/usr/local/man <br />10 <br />A275 06.29.94 1.05-12 Malers <br />
