I installed tcl-8.4 and tk-8.4 which are required when installing git. My
question is how to get the mann directory to display in man. I have tried
organising tcltk in /etc/man.conf in several different ways. Here is how I
have it organized now.
# tcltk manpages
_whatdb /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4/man/whatis.db
_whatdb /usr/local/lib/tk8.4/man/whatis.db
_subdir {cat,man}{1,3}
_build .n /usr/bin/nroff -man %s
_default /usr/local/lib/{tcl8.4,tk8.4}/man/
tcltk /usr/local/lib/{tcl8.4,tk8.4}/man/
1 /usr/local/lib/{tcl8.4,tk8.4}/man1
3 /usr/local/lib/{tcl8.4,tk8.4}/man3
n /usr/local/lib/{tcl8.4,tk8.4}/mann
Example I can man -s tcltk 3 Tcl_RecordAndEval and the man page comes up
normal. I can also man Tk_GetVisual or man -s tcltk 3 Tk_GetVisual and the
manpages come up normal. Using man -k tk and here I will show some of the
display from that command:
tk_messageBox (n) - pops up a message window and waits for user response.
tk_optionMenu (n) - Create an option menubutton and its menu
tk_popup (n) - Post a popup menu
tk_setPalette, tk_bisque (n) - Modify the Tk color palette
tkerror (n) - Command invoked to process background errors
tkvars (n) - Variables used or set by Tk
tkwait (n) - Wait for variable to change or window to be destroyed
I would like to be able to display man pages for the (n) section. ie. man -s
tcltk n tkwait or man n tkwait
As is now when I try to display commands in the (n) section I get results like
this: -bash-3.2$ man n tkwait
man: no entry for tkwait in section n of the manual.
man -s tcltk n tkwait
man: no entry for n in section tcltk of the manual.
man: no entry for tkwait in section tcltk of the manual.
Please enlighten me.
