-.PP
-(If you are new to MINIX 3 then try
-.BR "man hier" ,
-it will show you around the file system and give you many pointers to other
-manual pages.)
-.PP
-By default,
-.B man
-will try the following files in a manual page directory for the command
-.BR "man \-s 1 ls" :
-.PP
-.RS
-.ft B
-.nf
-cat1/ls.1
-cat1/ls.1.Z
-man1/ls.1
-man1/ls.1.Z
-.fi
-.ft P
-.RE
-.PP
-Files in the man[1\-8] directories are formatted with
-.BR "nroff \-man" .
-Those in man9 are formatted with
-.BR "nroff \-mnx" .
-Files in the cat? directories are preformatted. Files with names ending in
-.B .Z
-are decompressed first with
-.B zcat
-(see
-.BR compress (1)).
-The end result is presented to the user using a pager if displaying on
-the screen.
-.PP
-For each manual page directory in its search path,
-.B man
-will first try all the subdirectories of the manual page directory for
-the files above, and then the directory itself. The directory
-.B /usr/man
-contains the standard manual pages, with manual pages for optional
-packages installed in a subdirectory of /usr/man, with the same
-structure as /usr/man. The directory
-.B /usr/local/man
-contains manual pages for locally added software. By default
-/usr/local/man is searched first, then /usr/man.
-.PP
-A title is not simply used as a filename, because several titles may
-refer to the same manual page. Each manual page directory contains a
-database of titles in the
-.BR whatis (5)
-file that is created by
-.BR makewhatis (1)
-from the NAME sections of all the manual pages. A title is searched in
-this database and the first title on a whatis line is used as a filename.
-.SH OPTIONS
-The options may be interspersed with the titles to search, and take effect
-for the titles after them.
-.TP
-.B \-a
-Show all the manual pages or one line descriptions with the given title in
-all the specified sections in all the manual directories in the search path.
-Normally only the first page found is shown.

-as the search path for manual directories.

-is the section number the page is to be found in, or a comma separated
-list of sections to use. Normally all sections are searched. The

-like. A single digit is treated as a section number without the

-for compatibility with BSD-style
-.B man
-commands.
