ubuntu安装man中文帮助文档：man c/c++

1、C语言库函数基本的帮助文档

sudo apt-get install manpages

sudo apt-get install manpages-de

sudo apt-get install manpages-de-dev

sudo apt-get install manpages-dev

2、POSIX函数帮助文档

sudo apt-get install manpages-posix

sudo apt-get install manpages-posix-dev

3、内核函数

sudo apt-get install linux-doc

sudo apt-get install libcorelinux-doc
4. C++

sudo apt-get install libstdc++6-4.5-doc //通过补齐查找具体的文件

//sudo apt-get install libstdc++6-4.3-doc //C++ API

1.添加库函数手册

ubuntu默认是没有安装c语言的库函数man手册的，所以你在man perror 和sendto之类的函数时会显示没有相关文档的问题，这个问题让我郁闷了我好久。解决方法：

sudo apt-get install manpages-dev

2.让man显示中文

ubuntu源里面已经包含了中文的man包，所以不用从其他地方down了，直接

sudo apt-get install manpages-zh

但是这样man默认显示的还不是中文，还需要以下两步

a.把中文man包转换成utf8格式的

新建一个脚本文件

gedit t.sh

把下面内容添加进去

#!/bin/bashcd /usr/share/man/zh_CN/for k in *docd $kfor i in *.gzdo j=`echo ${i%.gz}` gunzip $i iconv -f gb18030 -t utf8 $j >tmp mv tmp $j gzip $jdonecd ..done

#!/bin/bash
           cd /usr/share/man/zh_CN/
            for k in *
            do
            cd $k
            for i in *.gz
            do
            j=`echo ${i%\.gz}`
           gunzip $i
           iconv -f gb18030 -t utf8 $j >tmp
           mv tmp $j
           gzip $j
           done
           cd ..
           done

#我用上面装完再试着乱码显示。卸载重装 只装上面整个一句话成功。

然后

sudo chmod a+rwx t.sh

sudo ./t.sh

b.修改man默认的语言

sudo gedit /etc/manpath.config 把里面的所有的 /usr/share/man 改成 /usr/share/man/zh_CN

保存后退出，然后你再试一下man ls

3.让没有中文帮助的显示英文

做完上面第二部还不够，这时你再man 一下一些c语言函数（不要用printf，socket之类比较有名的函数，这些已经有中文帮助了）的时候就会发现竟然没有帮助，而刚才明明在第一步已经安装了啊。这是因为你上面 把/usr/share/man 改成 /usr/share/man/zh_CN的操作使man只在中文帮助中搜索，如果没有就直接放弃，因此还需要以下操作，才能让man在没有中文帮助的时候自动显示英文的帮助，如果英文的也没有，哪就真的没有了。

sudo gedit /etc/manpath.config

然后搜索你刚才改过的地方，然后在其后面添加同样的一行，只是后面的目录还用原来的/usr/share/man(所有的)，比如在修改后的

MANPATH_MAP /bin /usr/share/man/zh_CN

再添加一行

MANPATH_MAP /bin /usr/share/man

# manpath.config
#
# This file is used by the man-db package to configure the man and cat paths.
# It is also used to provide a manpath for those without one by examining
# their PATH environment variable. For details see the manpath(5) man page.
#
# Lines beginning with `#' are comments and are ignored. Any combination of
# tabs or spaces may be used as `whitespace' separators.
#
# There are three mappings allowed in this file:
# --------------------------------------------------------
# MANDATORY_MANPATH			manpath_element
# MANPATH_MAP		path_element	manpath_element
# MANDB_MAP		global_manpath	[relative_catpath]
#---------------------------------------------------------

#
#MANDATORY_MANPATH 			/usr/src/pvm3/man

# For a manpath element to be treated as a system manpath (as most of those
# above should normally be), it must be mentioned below. Each line may have
# an optional extra string indicating the catpath associated with the
# manpath. If no catpath string is used, the catpath will default to the
# given manpath.
#
# You *must* provide all system manpaths, including manpaths for alternate
# operating systems, locale specific manpaths, and combinations of both, if
# they exist, otherwise the permissions of the user running man/mandb will
# be used to manipulate the manual pages. Also, mandb will not initialise
# the database cache for any manpaths not mentioned below unless explicitly
# requested to do so.
#
# In a per-user configuration file, this directive only controls the
# location of catpaths and the creation of database caches; it has no effect
# on privileges.
#
# Any manpaths that are subdirectories of other manpaths must be mentioned
# *before* the containing manpath. E.g. /usr/man/preformat must be listed
# before /usr/man.
