+The

+displays complete manual pages that you select by
+.Ar name ,
+or one-line summaries selected either by
+.Ar keyword
+.Pq Fl k ,
+or by the name of an associated file
+.Pq Fl f .
+If no manual page is located,

+.Ss "Source Format"
+Reference Manual pages are marked up with either
+.Xr man 5 ,
+or
+.Xr mdoc 5
+language tags. The
+.Nm
+command recognizes the type of markup and
+processes the file accordingly.
+.
+.Ss "Location of Manual Pages"
+.
 The online Reference Manual page directories are conventionally located in
-\fB/usr/share/man\fR. The nroff sources are located in the
-\fB/usr/share/man/man\fR* directories. The \fBSGML\fR sources are located in
-the \fB/usr/share/man/sman\fR* directories. Each directory corresponds to a
+.Pa /usr/share/man .
+Each directory corresponds to a
 section of the manual. Since these directories are optionally installed, they
-might not reside on your host. You might have to mount \fB/usr/share/man\fR
+might not reside on your host. You might have to mount
+.Pa /usr/share/man
 from a host on which they do reside.
-.sp
-.LP
-If there are preformatted, up-to-date versions in the corresponding \fBcat\fR*
-or \fBfmt\fR* directories, \fBman\fR simply displays or prints those versions.
-If the preformatted version of interest is out of date or missing, \fBman\fR
-reformats it prior to display and stores the preformatted version if \fBcat\fR*
-or \fBfmt\fR* is writable. The \fBwindex\fR database is not updated. See
-\fBcatman\fR(1M). If directories for the preformatted versions are not
-provided, \fBman\fR reformats a page whenever it is requested. \fBman\fR uses a
-temporary file to store the formatted text during display.
-.sp
-.LP
-If the standard output is not a terminal, or if the `\fB-\fR' flag is given,
-\fBman\fR pipes its output through \fBcat\fR(1). Otherwise, \fBman\fR pipes its
-output through \fBmore\fR(1) to handle paging and underlining on the screen.

-The \fBman\fR command is CSI-capable. However, some utilities invoked by the
-\fBman\fR command, namely, \fBtroff\fR, \fBeqn\fR, \fBneqn\fR, \fBrefer\fR,
-\fBtbl\fR, and \fBvgrind\fR, are not verified to be CSI-capable. Because of
-this, the man command with the \fB-t\fR option can not handle non-EUC data.
-Also, using the \fBman\fR command to display man pages that require special
-processing through \fBeqn\fR, \fBneqn\fR, \fBrefer\fR, \fBtbl\fR, or
-\fBvgrind\fR can not be CSI-capable.

 The manual is supposed to be reproducible either on a phototypesetter or on an
-\fBASCII\fR terminal. However, on a terminal some information (indicated by
+ASCII terminal. However, on a terminal some information (indicated by
 font changes, for instance) is lost.

-.LP
-Some dumb terminals cannot process the vertical motions produced by the \fBe\fR
-(see \fBeqn\fR(1)) preprocessing flag. To prevent garbled output on these
-terminals, when you use \fBe\fR, also use \fBt\fR, to invoke \fBcol\fR(1)
-implicitly. This workaround has the disadvantage of eliminating superscripts
-and subscripts, even on those terminals that can display them. Control-q clears
-a terminal that gets confused by \fBeqn\fR(1) output.
