usrlocalsharemanman1

usrlocalsharemanman1 is commonly used as a flattened reference to the filesystem path /usr/local/share/man/man1, a directory on Unix-like systems for manual pages associated with locally installed software in section 1. This path is not a single file but a location that stores user-command documentation that accompanies locally installed programs.

The /usr/local/share/man directory is organized by man page sections. The subdirectory man1 contains manual pages for user commands (section 1). Files inside typically have names like command.1 or command.1.gz, representing the command and its man page section. Compressed versions (*.gz) are common on many systems to save space.

Usage and maintenance: The man command searches its configured paths to locate pages. Locally installed software may place its man pages under /usr/local/share/man/man1, making them accessible via man command entries such as "man command" if the path is included in the MANPATH environment variable. If the system does not automatically include this path, you can view pages by specifying an alternate path (for example, man -M /usr/local/share/man command) or by updating MANPATH. The mandb utility can be used to rebuild the manual page database after adding or removing pages.

Variations and context: Not all systems use /usr/local/share/man/man1; some distributions place local man pages in different directories or rely on /usr/share/man for global packages. In those cases, local installations may still provide documentation, but the path and access method can differ. If you encounter the term "usrlocalsharemanman1" in documentation, it typically denotes the conventional local man-page location in a compact form, referring to the actual path /usr/local/share/man/man1.
