MANVM(1) FreeBSD 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
selection 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-
variables 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
created 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 `openjdk', `oracle', 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 `1.7', `1.7+', `1.8', `1.8+',
`1.9', `1.9+', `7', `7+', `8', `8+', `9', `9+', `10', `10+',
`11', `11+', `12', `12+', `13', `13+', `14', `14+', `15', `15+',
`16', `16+', `17', `17+', `18', and `18+'.
JAVAVM_OPTS
The contents of this environment variable will be passed to the
invoked man as options. For more information on environment
JAVA_VERSION=8 /usr/local/bin/manvm javac
Display the on-line manual page for the javac programme for a
Java VM which is version 8.
