Some possible arguments
Authored by: c15zyx on Oct 17, '02 02:01:24PM
oh, well it works on mine, maybe your --mandir was wrongly set on configure?

[From the editor: I trimmed the posted "man" page due to length and Geeklog's poor formatting options. When someone asks about man pages in the future, there are numerous onlin resources available which do nothing more than catalog UNIX man pages. In this case, though, since it's a GNU project, you can use nano's own online manual pages to review the manual. -rob.]

My nano man page is in /usr/local/man/man1/nano.1 but the only way I have to open it is by naviguating to the file via TextEdit..... No paths for manual pages for user-installed stuff on my OS10.2.1 work. I tried writing them myself like I used to do sometimes in FreeBSD, but that doesn't work either. Thanks again.

[Editor's note: I trimmed the "man" page here, too ... see the above note for a reference to an online version. -rob.]

Seriously, is posting man pages in the comments necassary? To get rid of all those extra characters, do "man <manpagename> | col -b" to get nice clean ASCII output.

If you don't loke it, just ignore it by scrolling. I do not apologize, nor do I intend to.
