circumstance and arrangement, in fact.)</P

for countries with several competing standards.</P

>Similarly, provision must be made for manual pages which are
architecture-dependent, such as documentation on device-drivers or
low-level system administration commands. These must be placed under
an <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
><arch></TT
> directory in the appropriate
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>man<section></TT
> directory; for example, a man
page for the i386 ctrlaltdel(8) command might be placed in
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/share/man/<locale>/man8/i386/ctrlaltdel.8</TT
>.</P
><P
>Manual pages for commands and data under
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/local</TT
> are stored in
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/local/man</TT
>. Manual pages for X11R6 are
stored in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/X11R6/man</TT
>. It follows that all
manual page hierarchies in the system must have the same structure as
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/share/man</TT
>.</P
><P
>The cat page sections (<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>cat<section></TT
>)
containing formatted manual page entries are also found within
subdirectories of <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
><mandir>/<locale></TT
>,
but are not required nor may they be distributed in lieu of nroff
source manual pages.</P
><P
>The numbered sections "1" through "8" are traditionally defined.
In general, the file name for manual pages located within a particular
section end with <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>.<section></TT
>.</P
><P
>In addition, some large sets of application-specific manual
pages have an additional suffix appended to the manual page filename.
For example, the MH mail handling system manual pages must have
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>mh</TT
> appended to all MH manuals. All X Window
System manual pages must have an <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>x</TT
> appended to
the filename.</P
><P
>The practice of placing various language manual pages in
appropriate subdirectories of <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/share/man</TT
> also
applies to the other manual page hierarchies, such as
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/local/man</TT
> and
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/X11R6/man</TT
>. (This portion of the standard
also applies later in the section on the optional
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/var/cache/man</TT
