This is due to $MANSECT having been truncated to the first section number ( 1), and the manpage for $ mount is in the section 8.
#Manpager manual
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available. The last command raises the following error: man.vim: command error (11) man -w mount: No manual entry for mount The reason I ask this question is because the Neovim man plugin suffers from an issue where you can't open a manpage outside the first section of the manual if you have started Neovim as a manpager: $ export MANSECT=1:n:l:8:3:2:3posix:3pm:3perl:5:4:9:6:7 Is it possible to prevent $MANSECT from being altered when using Vim as a manpager?
#Manpager code
The code below shows how I created a poor-mans pager control that uses the goto behavior. However, they all have similar functionality. functionality works nicely with the scrollHorz effect. The last :echo prints only 1 on Vim's command line, instead of 1:2:3. Now you can read syntax-highlighted man pages inside Vim by running :Man. How you use a password manager varies slightly depending on which password manager you have. Once the TPM receives this request, the TPM will return TPMRC.
#Manpager full
Full test - TPM will test all functions regardless of what has already been tested. Simple test - TPM will test functions that require testing. Google Password Manager is not as feature-rich as some of our favorite password managers. The last :echo correctly prints 1:2:3 on Vim's command line.īut if I start Vim with the $ man command: $ export MANSECT=1:2:3 tpm2selftest (1) - Cause the TPM to execute self-test of its capabilities. If I start Vim with the $ vim command, and ask for the value of $MANSECT, I get the original value (the one exported in the shell): $ export MANSECT=1:2:3 Now, according to Vim's help ( :help manpager.vim), Vim can be used as a manpager: export MANPAGER="vim -M +MANPAGER -" In contrast, this command opens the printf manpage in the third section of the manual: MANSECT=3:2:1 man printfīecause the section 3 comes before the section 1 in $MANSECT. To set it permanently, just add it to your /.

With the man-db implementation I use all the below ways work: MANPAGERcat man man PAGERcat man man MANOPT-P cat man man man -P cat man. This variable seems to control the order of the sections in which $ man searches for a manpage, when you don't specifiy one.Īs an example, this command opens the printf manpage in the first section of the manual: $ MANSECT=1:2:3 man printfīecause I didn't specify the section number I was interested in, and because the section 1 comes before the section 3 inside $MANSECT. Depending on your man implementation and version there could be also a command line switch to specify the pager. Inside the file ~/.zshenv I export this value for the MANSECT environment variable (the value is taken from /etc/nfig): export MANSECT=1:n:l:8:3:2:3posix:3pm:3perl:5:4:9:6:7
