To use DMF commands and DMF man pages, set your PATH and MANPATH environment variables. The DMF administrator commands and executable files are installed in /usr/sbin. The user commands are installed in /usr/bin. The IRIX man pages are installed in /usr/share/catman/u_man/cat[1,5,8]. The Linux man pages are installed in /usr/share/man/man[1,5,8].
 | Note: If you are not familiar with setting the MANPATH
environment variable, you should know that some paths are checked even though
they are not listed by default. In other words, even though the command
echo $MANPATH in ksh returns no message or in
csh returns the message MANPATH - Undefined variable,
certain paths are still searched for man pages. Setting the MANPATH
environment variable as described in the following examples will
overwrite these paths.
If MANPATH has not been set, you should read the man(1) man page to determine the paths that are checked and then include those paths in the commands below. |
Since DMF 2.8 and later versions install binaries and man pages in standard system locations, simply ensure that your PATH and MANPATH environment variables contain the appropriate paths listed above. In most cases, no additional path settings should be required.
