Each page of the manual is examined, and the preformatted versions that are missing or are out of date are recreated. If any changes are made, _c_a_t_m_a_n recreates the whatis data- base. ----nnnn Prevents recreation of the whatis database. ----pppp Prints the command instead of executing it. ----vvvv Displays progress information for each file pro- cessed. ----dddd _d_i_r Specifies the directory containing input. The default is /usr/man. ----wwww Creates the whatis database. The manual is not reformatted. ----mmmm_m_a_c_r_o_s Specifies a macro package. The default is ----mmmmaaaannnn. _s_e_c_t_i_o_n_s Specifies the section(s) of the manual to be updated. (For example, enter ``123'' to update only sections 1, 2, and 3).
