MANPATH

A list of directories to interrogate for manual page files. Separate directories according to the custom on your platform, ":" on UNIX, ";" on Windoze (which alas uses ":" for those awful drive letters). Components of MANPATH must be file directories, not http://'s. If you're running Multivalent on UNIX, you can simply copy your MANPATH environment variable (unfortunately, environment variables aren't cross-platform, so Java doesn't support them).

Example MANPATH: /usr/man:/usr/local/man xxx

MANVOLUMES

Set to a list of the volume "letters", separated by colons (":") for your OS / man page set. For each letter in the list, interrogation adds a directory named "man" to each of the directories. You can leave out volume sections you never want to see (and save memory), such as for C function calls, as with "1:5:6:7:8:l:o:n:p". Default: "1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:l:o:n:p"

MANVOLNAMES

Manual pages are grouped into volumes, such as Volume 1, User Commands. Different flavors of UNIX have different volume names. In the table below, the system has found volumes corresponding to various section letters, and you can fill in or change the volume corresponding names. (You may with to the manual page database first, if you modified the MANPATH above.)

Parallel to MANVOLUMES above, set to a list of names of those volumes. Default: "User Commands:System Calls:Subroutines:Devices:File Formats:Games:Miscellaneous:System Administration:Local:Old:New:Public"
