The man command displays a specified online reference page in HTML or ASCII (UNIX only) formats. For multiutil subcommands, you can use any valid command abbreviation or alias. For example:
cmd-context man lsreplica |
Full command name |
cmd-context man lsrep |
Abbreviation |
cmd-context man lsrp |
Alias |
Reference pages are stored in subdirectories of cquest–home–dir/doc/man. The man subcommand modifies the environment to include a MANPATH variable set to this directory. It then executes the UNIX man(1) command in a subprocess. Thus, the shell from which you invoke cleartool need not have MANPATH set.
If, however, you want to use UNIX man directly, without going through multitool, include cquest–home–dir/doc/man in your MANPATH. For example:
setenv MANPATH /usr/catman:/usr/man:/opt/rational/clearquest/doc/man
With UNIX man, you must match the reference page file name. The file names of multiutil subcommands have mu_ prefixes.
% man mu+describe |
Correct |
% man describe |
Incorrect (cleartool subcommand) |
