MANVM(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		      MANVM(1)

NAME
     manvm — format and display the on-line Java VM manual pages

SYNOPSIS
     manvm [name]

DESCRIPTION
     Manvm provides a convenient system for displaying the on-line manual
     pages for different Java VMs without having to add their (conflicting)
     manual page directories to MANPATH

     By default, manvm will select the most “native” and up to date version of
     the Java VM when locating the manual page to be displayed.	 This selec‐
     tion process is akin to that used by javavm in that the same environment
     variables and processes are used.

     The manual pages are displayed using man, and all applicable environment
     variables, save for MANPATH, are respected.  Options may be passed to man
     using the JAVAVM_OPTS environment variable and its associated sub-vari‐
     ables and configuration file.

ENVIRONMENT
     JAVA_HOME
	     The presence of this variable in the environment when executing
	     manvm will override all other considerations regarding the Java
	     VM whose on-line manual pages will be displayed and the manual
	     pages located at ${JAVA_HOME}/man will be used.

     JAVA_OS
	     A space delimited list of operating systems.  The on-line manual
	     pages to be displayed must come from a Java VM that has been cre‐
	     ated for one of the operating systems in the list.

	     Currently allowed operating system values are ‘native’ and
	     ‘linux’.

     JAVA_VENDOR
	     A space delimited list of Java VM vendors.	 The on-line manual
	     pages to be displayed must come from a Java VM that has been
	     released by one of the vendors in the list.

	     Currently allowed vendors are ‘bsdjava’, ‘freebsd’, ‘openjdk’ and
	     ‘sun’.

     JAVA_VERSION
	     A space delimited list of versions of the Java VM from which the
	     on-line manual pages may come.  By appending a ‘+’ to a version,
	     the on-line manual pages from any Java VM with a version greater
	     than or equal to the given version will be used.

	     Currently allowed versions are ‘1.5’, ‘1.5+’, ‘1.6’, ‘1.6+’,
	     ‘1.7’ and ‘1.7+’.

     JAVAVM_OPTS
	     The contents of this environment variable will be passed to the
	     invoked man as options.  For more information on environment
	     variables which can be used to set options see
	     /usr/local/etc/javavm_opts.conf.dist.

EXAMPLES
     /usr/local/bin/manvm java
	     Display the on-line manual page for the java programme of the the
	     most up to date and “native” Java VM registered with javavm.

     JAVA_VERSION=1.5 /usr/local/bin/manvm javac
	     Display the on-line manual page for the javac programme for a
	     Java VM which is version 1.5.
