man(3)

NAME

man - UNIX manual page viewer.

SYNOPSIS

man

DESCRIPTION

man provides a mechanism to display a UNIX manual page within the MicroEmacs window. On invoking man the user is prompted for the name of the manual page to display:-

Man on ? 

The name of the manual page (and any options) are entered on the command line. The macro invokes the UNIX utility man(1) to generate the page and displays the results in a window.

Selecting another manual page, with the left mouse within the manual page, then MicroEmacs attempts to load the selected manual page.

NOTES

man is a macro defined in hkman.emf.

man is only made available within UNIX environments, the UNIX start up file unixterm.emf links in the macro. If the man utility is required on other platforms then the following definition is required in a start-up file.

define-macro-file hkman man
