Where are Linux Man Pages Located?

[Hektor]

I've used the command often:

# man <command>

but where are the linux manual pages store at? Is it a database? I'm curious because I want to take a look at one of the files and see what it is made of.

At the command prompt type:

# manpath

You should see results like this:

/usr/kerberos/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/man:/var/qmail/man

Those are your manual pages path. You an also 'man man' for more information.

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. Now I have even more questions, I suppose I will create a new thread.
