So you see: one command in the pipe failed, but the error message said that the man page was not found. , it might be that your current viewer is not functional. As for others, xterm/urxvt might not be the easiest thing to read for this, since theyll be mapping between VT100 and Xlib, which is kind of low-level.
The PAGER environment variable contains name of the command that shows text files.
foo: value of the PAGER environment value groff: converts Troff text to ascii text tbl: converts tables in manual pages to Troff commands System command (cd /usr/share/man & /usr/bin/tbl /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1 | /usr/bin/groff -Wall -mtty-char -Tascii -mandoc -c | foo) exited with status 32512. If I set the environment variable PAGER to some funny value, I get the pipe printed:įailed to open the message catalog man on the path NLSPATH=Įrror executing formatting or display command. The command man actually executes a pipe of commands.
