On the RTL 3.0 CD, the default user environment
should likely include access the rtlinux manpages.
By default, they currently don't work, eg:
____________________________________________________________
% man rtf_get
No manual entry for rtf_get %^(
% setenv MANPATH :/usr/rtlinux-3.0/rtldoc-3.0/man
% man rtf_get
rtf_get(3) 8^)
NAME
rtf_get -- read data from a realtime fifo
:
:
____________________________________________________________
On my own system I've added at the bottom of /etc/csh.cshrc:
if ( $?MANPATH ) then
setenv MANPATH "${MANPATH}:/usr/rtlinux/man"
else
setenv MANPATH :/usr/rtlinux/man
endif
..and the following at the bottom of /etc/profile:
if [ -z "$MANPATH" ]; then
export MANPATH=:/usr/rtlinux/man
else
export MANPATH="${MANPATH}:/usr/rtlinux/man"
fi
This ensures all bash/csh/tcsh login accounts get working
rtlinux manpages.
Either that, or add the above settings to the appropriate
files in /etc/skel/, eg. .cshrc and .bashrc.
Also, so that commands like 'man -k rtl' work, similar
mods should likely be made to these cron files:
/etc/cron.daily/makewhatis.cron
/etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis.cron
eg:
#!/bin/bash
LOCKFILE=/var/lock/makewhatis.lock
if [ -z "$MANPATH" ]; then ####
export MANPATH=:/usr/rtlinux/man ##
else ## ADD THESE
export MANPATH="${MANPATH}:/usr/rtlinux/man" ##
fi ####
[..snip..]
makewhatis -w
This way the makewhatis database picks up the rtlinux
manpages too.
Note these settings do not break the default linux manpages;
the leading ':' ensures they are simply augmented.
