Installation

LIBMANCONF(3)
NAME
libmanconf — library for handling man(1) and manpath(1) configuration files
SYNOPSIS
import libmanconf
String, String, List libmanconf.read_man_conf_files(Integer debug_level = 0, String manpath_so_far = '')
DESCRIPTION
The read_man_conf_files() function reads the configuration files located at "/etc/man.conf" and "/usr/local/etc/man.d/*.conf"
to configure the manual search path, locales and utility set used by man(1) and related utilities.
The function takes an optional argument debug_level with an integer value from 0 (default) to 3,
to print increasingly detailed information on standard error output.
It can also take another optional argument manpath_so_far with a colon separated string of already added directories to the manual path,
in order to check for duplicate entries.
It returns a triplet consisting of:

a string containing colon separated existing MANPATH directories
a string containing colon separated locales (for example, "fr_FR.UTF-8:ja_JP.eucJP")
a list containing processors (for example, ["TBL_JA=/usr/local/bin/gtbl", "NROFF_JA=/usr/local/bin/groff -man -dlang=ja_JP.eucJP"])
