In addition to the hardcopy documentation described
in the preface of this document (“About This Document”), the HP XC system
also provides system help and information in the form on online manpages.
Manpages provide online reference and command information
from the system command line. Manpages are supplied with the HP XC system
for standard HP XC components, Linux user commands, LSF commands,
SLURM commands, and other software components that are distributed
with the HP XC system, such as HP-MPI. Manpages
for third-party vendor software components may be provided as a part
of the deliverables for that software component.
To access manpages, type the man command with the name of a command. For example:
This command accesses the manpage for the SLURM sinfo command.
If you are unsure of the name of the command that
you need to reference, you can enter the man command
with the -k option and a keyword, to get a list of
commands that are related to the keyword you entered. For example:
The MANPATH environment variable
is a list of directories that the man command uses
to find a manpage. You may need to add to your MANPATH variable to identify the location of manpages for additional software
packages.
