DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

-h

show edrcman usage.

show/search only the WA2L/edrc bundled native manual pages of the related operating system.

The OS (not case sensitive) can be an operating system ID as returned by osid(3), or the operating system name and version (use: -l to list the possible OS specifications).

If the OS is not specified, the $MAN_OSID is used as OS.

-i [ SYSTEM ]

show internet based (https://manned.org/, https://man.freebsd.org/) manual pages of the given operating SYSTEM variant.

Available SYSTEMs are: alpine, arch, centos, darwin, debian, dragonfly, fedora, freebsd, hpux, irix, linux, macos, macosx, minix, netbsd, openbsd, opendarwin, opensuse, osf1, plan9, rocky, slackware, solaris, sunos, sunos4, sunos5, suse, true64, ubuntu, ultrix, v7, x11, xfree86 and to query the general manual pages: [M]ANNED or [F]REEBSD, whereas the default is derived from the /etc/os-release file, if possible.

all native man options.

manpage

manual page to be read. If no manpage is specified, the edrcintro(1) is displayed.

section

manual page section.

ENVIRONMENT

$MAN_OSID

if this environment variable is not set, the osid is resolved by the osid(3) command. The only reason to set the $MAN_OSID variable is, when it is needed to check manual pages of operating system dependent commands without logging in to a system resolving that operating system to the related OS-id.

$LANG

if LC_ALL in edrcman.cfg is not set and $LANG is not empty, the contents of $LANG is used as $LC_ALL for the man command. Else the C locale is used as default.

$LC_ALL

if LC_ALL is not defined in edrcman.cfg the contents of the environment variable is used for the man command

other

for other possible environment variable settings see man(1).

EXIT STATUS

for the operating system specified in the -o OS option no native manual pages are bundled with WA2L/edrc.

the exit status of native man, see man(1) for more information.
