How command "manpath" works?
I downloaded j2sdk from SUN and extracted it to /usr/local
and I found the /usr/local/j2sdk/man is in the list of command "manpath"
But I haven't set manpath manully and it's not listed in /etc/manpath.config
I'm wondering how manpath works, who can give me a hint or tell me in
which package I can found the source code of "manpath" so I can check it
myself?
Thank u very much!!

based on the value of $PATH. From get_manpath() in the source (and read
/etc/manpath.config for man_db.config here):
/*
* For each directory in the user's path, see if it is one of the
* directories listed in the man_db.config file. If so, and it is
* not already in the manpath, add it. If the directory is not listed
* in the man_db.config file, see if there is a subdirectory `../man' or
* `man'. If so, and it is not already in the manpath, add it.
* Example: user has $HOME/bin in his path and the directory
* $HOME/man exists -- the directory $HOME/man will be added
* to the manpath.
*/
