Man Pages for Command-line Tools

[Rod Buchanan]

Can someone tell me where the man pages for the command-line tools are installed? Looks like I need to update my MANPATH.

Thanks,

They're installed in /usr/local/share/man/man1/, which I think is in the default MANPATH.

It van be found with the command:
locate bbfind
In My case it is:

/usr/local/share/man/man1

Hmmm … that’s in my MANPATH but they’re not there. Running "find /usr/local/share -name bb\*” comes up empty.

Trying to reinstall the tools yields a "The command-line tools are up to date" message. Can I simply rm the tool symlinks in /usr/local/bin and reinstall the tools?

Thanks,

Certainly. :-)
