man page memo

Hierarchy details:


Specifically, the local man pages is in

/usr/local/share/man/man[1-8]

If there is man pages in other language than English, say de, then:

/usr/local/share/man/de

Changing the LANG will search for man pages in different language. Example:

(when LANG is not set, use default system locale)

$ man -w dvipdf
/usr/local/share/man/man1/dvipdf.1

(Change to de)

$ export LANG=de
$ man -w dvipdf
/usr/local/share/man/de/man1/dvipdf.1
