SYNOPSIS

catman [-M path] [-T macro-package] [-pnw] [sections]

DESCRIPTION

The catman command generates plain text versions of nroff(1) manual pages and a windex database for the apropos(1) and whatis(1) commands.

The catman command accepts the following options:
-p Prints the steps to be done instead of actually executing them.
-n Inhibits the creation of windex databases.
-w Only the windex database is created, no preformatting is done.
-M path Specifies a colon-separated list of manual directories. Usually, this is determined by the same method used in man(1).
-T macro-package
  Specifies the nroff macro package to be used instead of the default.
