In order to use install man pages for various commands in Solaris it is necessary to get two packages: SUNWman and SUNWdoc. You can check if they are already installed using commands ‘
pkginfo SUNWdoc'
and 'pkginfo SUNWman'
, or just try ‘man man
‘. If they are not present in your system you can install them from Solaris 10 cd-rom (I guess you’re using exactly this version of Sun’ operating system):
1. Mount cd-rom:
mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2 /mnt/
where c0t1d0s2 is identifier of your cd-rom and may differ from system to system.
2. Install Packages:
pkgadd -d /mnt/Solaris_10/Product SUNWman
pkgadd -d /mnt/Solaris_10/Product SUNWdoc
