- _m_a_k_e_w_h_a_t_i_s scans the manual page (also known as reference page) trees,
- parses the manual pages, and strips out the NAME section information to
- create the "whatis" database used by _a_p_r_o_p_o_s(1), _m_a_n(1), and _w_h_a_t_i_s(1).
-
- By default, _m_a_k_e_w_h_a_t_i_s creates the file /_u_s_r/_s_h_a_r_e/_c_a_t_m_a_n/_w_h_a_t_i_s.
- Another file can be created as the database by specifying its filename on
- the command line.
-
- An alternate manual page tree can be specified by using the ----MMMM option to
- specify a path or paths to a manual page tree or trees. See the
- discussion of the ----MMMM option in _m_a_n(1) for more details.
-
- The format of the "whatis" file is based on that used by William Joy's UC
- Berkeley version of _a_p_r_o_p_o_s.
-
- EEEENNNNVVVVIIIIRRRROOOONNNNMMMMEEEENNNNTTTT
- The environment variables used by _m_a_n(1) apply to _m_a_k_e_w_h_a_t_i_s.

- Expect execution times of about 10-30 minutes, depending on the number of
- manual pages installed. The reason is that the first portion of EVERY
- manual page on the system is read.
-
- If unformatted (_n_r_o_f_f source) man pages are present, the _d_w_b product
- should be installed, or _m_a_k_e_w_h_a_t_i_s may issues warning messages, because
- it falls back on an awk script called _a_w_f(_1) that emulates nroff -man.
-
- You must run _m_a_k_e_w_h_a_t_i_s as root.

- This program is run automatically in the background during system bootup,
- whenever products have been installed or removed (when /_v_a_r/_i_n_s_t/_h_i_s_t is
- newer than /_u_s_r/_s), from the script /_e_t_c/_i_n_i_t._d._c_o_n_f_i_g_m_s_g. As of the
- IRIX 6.5 release, the _s_g_i_n_d_e_x_A_d_m_i_n(1) program will run first, and use the
- installed information where possible, to reduce runtime. Only if that

- program is not found, or fails, will _m_a_k_e_w_h_a_t_i_s run to build the

-
- Manual pages in source form that use the ....ssssoooo directive will cause
- makewhatis to complain that the other file can't be found, unless it is a
- full pathname.
