That is appropriate, but to avoid breaking the more common setup with /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin, search_path needs to map the PATH directories /bin and /usr/bin to the man directory /usr/share/man. GNU man does the same, but it is written into /etc/manpath.config. -- Jilles TjoelkerReceived on Thu Sep 09 2010 - 18:19:32 UTC
