16 Using the man ioslave you are able to read the man pages installed
17 on your system. It is easy to use:
22 <term><userinput><command>man:</command></userinput></term>
24 <para>See the sections of the manual, click to find the rest.
29 <term><userinput><command>man:</command><replaceable>fopen</replaceable></userinput></term>
31 <para>See the man page of <command>fopen</command>.
36 <term><userinput><command>man:</command><replaceable>fopen(3)</replaceable></userinput></term>
38 <para>See the man page of <command>fopen</command> in section 3.
43 <term><userinput><command>man:</command><replaceable>(3)</replaceable></userinput></term>
45 <para>See the index of section 3.
50 <term><userinput><command>man:</command>intro<replaceable>(3)</replaceable></userinput></term>
52 <para>See the introduction of section 3.
58 <note><para>If there are more than one man page of the name that you
59 have entered, you will get a list where you can choose the man page
60 that you want to see.</para></note>
63 There is also a shortcut: <userinput><command>#fopen</command></userinput>,
64 which has the same effect as above.
68 If you do not find all your man pages, adjust the configuration file
69 <filename>/etc/manpath.config</filename>
70 (or a file of a similar name depending on your distribution)
71 or adjust the environment variables
72 <envar>MANPATH</envar> and <envar>MANSECT</envar>.
76 As with any other &kde; ioslave, it is possible to enter a &URL;, like
77 <userinput><command>man:socket</command></userinput> in <emphasis>any</emphasis>
78 &kde; application. Try it in &kwrite; and you will see the man page in
