See the manpath on your NetBSD system:
man -p
That shows what directories actually currently has manuals.
So also see:
/etc/man.conf
A common place to install your own manpage is
/usr/local/man/man1/
The man manpage or man itself has a bug:
the man.c comments say -p prints the directories containing manpages.
The manpage says -p prints the path.
But actually -p prints the directories from the search path that exist
regardless if contain manpages or not.
Okay if I commit this?
.It Fl p
Print the search path for the manual pages.
+This excludes cat page directories and non-existent directories.
Fix man.c comments too?
Or should the code be fixed to only -p print directories containing
a man page?
