NAME
       man.conf - configuration data for man

DESCRIPTION
       This  file  is  read  by man(1) and contains (a) information on how to
       construct the search path for man, (b) full  path  names	 for  various
       programs	 like  nroff,  eqn, tbl etc. used by man, and (c) a list with
       uncompressors for files with a given extension.	An  alternative	 ver-
       sion of this file can be specified with

	      man -C private_man.conf ...

       The  command  names  may	 be provided with options.  Useful options to
       nroff can be found in grotty(1).	 For example, instead of the  default
       line

	      NROFF /usr/bin/groff -mandoc -Tlatin1

       one may write

	      NROFF /usr/bin/groff -mandoc -Tlatin1 -P-u -P-b

       in order to suppress underlining and overstriking.
