Manual / Man Page Entry

[devarishi]

Hi,


How do we create and link a manual / man page to man command?

To illustrate my point, kindly consider the following:

Code: Select all

-bash-2.05b# ls
case.sh  scriptPid.sh
-bash-2.05b# man case.sh
No manual entry for case.sh
-bash-2.05b#

As you can see that I have two scripts. I want to display a manual / man page for the scripts. How to achieve it?

For the time being I have done this:

Code: Select all

-bash-2.05b# sh case.sh --help
No help document is available at this time.
-bash-2.05b#

That is writing related information in the script itself.

That is a useful page but I have not been able to achive this:

Code: Select all

man myScript

When Issue a command like this:

Code: Select all

man ./myScript

it works and that too only when I am already in the directory where the myScript man page is placed.

I tried to add MANPATH in /etc/man.config but still it didn't work.
