JCATMAN(1)             DragonFly General Commands Manual            JCATMAN(1)


NAME

     jcatman - preformat Japanese or original (English) man pages


SYNOPSIS

     jcatman [-f | -force] [-h | -help] [-p | -print] [-r | -remove]
             [-v | -verbose] [directories ...]


DESCRIPTION

     Jcatman format Japanese or original (English) man pages to ASCII/EUC.
     It's like typing `man program' for all Japanese or original man pages in
     directories.  Directories is a list of Japanese or original man
     directories or subdirectories separated by spaces or colons.  You have to
     set the envionment variable LC_CTYPE (or LANG) to ja_JP.EUC if you
     include Japanese man directories in directories.  Use existing
     directories of /usr/share/man/ja_JP.EUC, /usr/share/man/ja_JP,
     /usr/share/man/ja (if LC_CTYPE or LANG set to ja_JP.EUC) or
     /usr/share/man (other) if no directories defined.


OPTIONS

     -f, -force
             Force overwriting old cat pages.  Normally only those pages will
             be formatted which are not up to date.  This option is a waste of
             time, CPU and RAM.

     -h, -help
             Print options and exit.

     -p, -print
             Don't actually format man pages. Show what would be done.

     -r, -remove
             Remove garbage, e. g. catpage without manpage, uncompressed
             catpage but a compressed catpage exist, filenames with non-
             alphanumeric characters, uncompressed manpage but a compressed
             manpage exist.

     -v, -verbose
             More warnings.


EXAMPLES

           $ jcatman

     Format man pages in existing directories of /usr/share/man/ja_JP.EUC,
     /usr/share/man/ja_JP, /usr/share/man/ja if necessary.

           $ jcatman $MANPATH

     Format all your man pages if necessary.

           $ jcatman -f /usr/share/man/ja/man1 /usr/share/man/ja/manl

     Force reformatting of all man pages in /usr/share/man/ja/man1 and
     /usr/share/man/ja/manl.

           $ jcatman -p /usr/X11R6/man/ja

     Show only.


FEATURES

     Very fast if all man Japanese pages already formatted.  Does not support
     the -w option as some other systems do.  Use jmakewhatis(1) to rebuild
     the `whatis' database.


BUGS

     jman(1) is a setuid program.  Be careful that user `man' has write
     permissions to the jcatman directories.  Jcatman does not check for any
     `.so' in Japanese man page sources.  Use hard or symlinks to avoid
     redundant formatted Japanese man pages.
