Access to man pages

Postby Marco » Sat Oct 24, 2015 1:55 am

I have successfully installed 1.4.5 on El Capitan, and I wish to thank Lundman, ilovezfs and all for their great work.

Though I can read the man pages through the terminal, I was used to browse them also with the more user friendly ManOpen app, or sometimes Man Viewer.

It is still possible the read the man pages in terminal, but ManOpen can no longer find them. I guess that this is a ManOpen problem, as it is not updated for 10.11 and probably doesn't know where the pages are now located, or it needs an access privilege that it doesn't have.

Any body knows of a workaround? Anything would do, even pointing to an online repository of the same man pages that re relevant to OpensZFS

Thank you in advance
Marco

I followed your instructions, and here are the desired man pages, updated to zfs(8) and zpool(8).
Thank you so much!
