Z:gnu-man-db-manpages--63663e-Some systems incorporate large/en

Some systems incorporate large packages of manual pages, such as those that accompany the B package, into the main manual page hierarchy. To get around the problem of having two manual pages with the same name such as B (3), the B pages were usually all assigned to section B. As this is unfortunate, it is now possible to put the pages in the correct section, and to assign a specific `extension' to them, in this case, B (3tcl). Under normal operation, B<%man%> will display B (3) in preference to B (3tcl). To negotiate this situation and to avoid having to know which section the page you require resides in, it is now possible to give B<%man%> a I string indicating which package the page must belong to. Using the above example, supplying the option B<-e\ tcl> to B<%man%> will restrict the search to pages having an extension of B<*tcl>.
