DESCRIPTION

       This file is read by man(1) and contains (a) information on how to con-
       struct the search path for man, (b) full path names  for  various  pro-
       grams like nroff, eqn, tbl etc. used by man, and (c) a list with uncom-
       pressors for files with a given extension.  An alternative  version  of
       this file can be specified with

              man -C private_man.conf ...

       The  command  names  may  be  provided with options.  Useful options to
       nroff can be found in grotty(1).  For example, instead of  the  default
       line

              NROFF /usr/bin/groff -mandoc -Tlatin1

       one may write

              NROFF /usr/bin/groff -mandoc -Tlatin1 -P-u -P-b

       in order to suppress underlining and overstriking.
