The search path for manual pages that th man command searches can be determined using the manpath command. The paths reported by manpath are based on the environment variable "$MANPATH". If this environment variable is not set, the paths will be reported based on the configuration in files such as "/etc/man.config", "/etc/manpath.config", or "/etc/man_db.conf" (depending on the distribution).
Example:| $ manpath ←Query the search paths for man pages /usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man/overrides:/usr/share/man |
