问题
This question is based on the thread.
I downloaded the manuals as the file "v5.1 (Maria) TGZ".
I moved the file to /usr/share/man/. I could not access the manuals by
man mysqlbug
The .tar.gz -file has these files which do not include README
comp_err.1
innochecksum.1
make_win_bin_dist.1
msql2mysql.1
my_print_defaults.1
myisam_ftdump.1
myisamchk.1
myisamlog.1
myisampack.1
mysql.1
mysql.server.1
mysql_config.1
mysql_convert_table_format.1
mysql_find_rows.1
mysql_fix_extensions.1
mysql_fix_privilege_tables.1
mysql_install_db.1
mysql_secure_installation.1
mysql_setpermission.1
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql.1
mysql_upgrade.1
mysql_waitpid.1
mysql_zap.1
mysqlaccess.1
mysqladmin.1
mysqlbinlog.1
mysqlbug.1
mysqlcheck.1
mysqld.8
mysqld_multi.1
mysqld_safe.1
mysqldump.1
mysqldumpslow.1
mysqlhotcopy.1
mysqlimport.1
mysqlmanager.8
mysqlshow.1
mysqlslap.1
perror.1
replace.1
resolve_stack_dump.1
resolveip.1
I copied the files to /usr/share/man/mysql.
However, I could not access the manual by the keyword mysql.
Where should I put the files such that I can access them by Man?
How can you install MySQL manuals to OS X Leopard?
回答1:
The .1 suffix indicates the files go in section 1 of the manual. You'll need to make sure you move the files to /usr/share/man/man1 and that /usr/share/man is in your MANPATH environment variable (it should be already).
回答2:
The ".tgz" means that these files are archived with tar and compressed with gzip. You should be able to open up the file with tar xvfz and then the filename. Bear in mind that there may be multiple files, I don't know if they're in man format, and I don't know the directory structure. I'd do it in a working directory, not /usr/share/man, just to see what it actually is.
Alternately, there are likely instructions where you downloaded the file.

As man man explains in detail, man can access single compressed files (so it's OK to gzip one or more individual manpages and name them with a .gz suffix) but cannot look inside archives of pages, and a tar (gzipped or not) is exactly such an archive. So you need to unpack it, as @David mentions (you might then gzip each individual page, if you're desperate to save disk space).
