JCATMAN(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		    JCATMAN(1)

NAME
     jcatman — preformat Japanese or original (English) man pages

SYNOPSIS
     jcatman [-f | -force] [-h | -help] [-p | -print] [-r | -remove]
	     [-v | -verbose] [directories ...]

DESCRIPTION
     Jcatman format Japanese or original (English) man pages to ASCII/EUC.
     It's like typing ‘man program’ for all Japanese or original man pages in
     directories.  Directories is a list of Japanese or original man directo‐
     ries or subdirectories separated by spaces or colons.  You have to set
     the envionment variable LC_CTYPE (or LANG) to ja_JP.EUC if you include
     Japanese man directories in directories.  Use existing directories of
     /usr/share/man/ja_JP.EUC, /usr/share/man/ja_JP, /usr/share/man/ja (if
     LC_CTYPE or LANG set to ja_JP.EUC) or /usr/share/man (other) if no
     directories defined.

OPTIONS
     -f, -force
	     Force overwriting old cat pages.  Normally only those pages will
	     be formatted which are not up to date.  This option is a waste of
	     time, CPU and RAM.

     -h, -help
	     Print options and exit.

     -p, -print
	     Don't actually format man pages. Show what would be done.

     -r, -remove
	     Remove garbage, e. g. catpage without manpage, uncompressed cat‐
	     page but a compressed catpage exist, filenames with non-alphanu‐
	     meric characters, uncompressed manpage but a compressed manpage
	     exist.

     -v, -verbose
	     More warnings.

EXAMPLES
	   $ jcatman

     Format man pages in existing directories of /usr/share/man/ja_JP.EUC,
     /usr/share/man/ja_JP, /usr/share/man/ja if necessary.

	   $ jcatman $MANPATH

     Format all your man pages if necessary.

	   $ jcatman -f /usr/share/man/ja/man1 /usr/share/man/ja/manl

     Force reformatting of all man pages in /usr/share/man/ja/man1 and
     /usr/share/man/ja/manl.

	   $ jcatman -p /usr/X11R6/man/ja

     Show only.

FEATURES
     Very fast if all man Japanese pages already formatted.  Does not support
     the -w option as some other systems do.  Use jmakewhatis(1) to rebuild
     the ‘whatis’ database.

BUGS
     jman(1) is a setuid program.  Be careful that user ‘man’ has write per‐
     missions to the jcatman directories.  Jcatman does not check for any
     ‘.so’ in Japanese man page sources.  Use hard or symlinks to avoid redun‐
     dant formatted Japanese man pages.

SEE ALSO
     jman(1), jmanpath(1), jmakewhatis(1).

HISTORY
     The original version of catman command appeared in FreeBSD 2.1.
     Japanized jcatman command appeared in ports/packages collection of Free‐
     BSD 2.2.
