Please check out this IBM Idea (aka requirement) that I just posted regarding the OMVS Man pages and vote and/or comment
https://ibm-z-hardware-and-operating-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/ZOS-I-3685 The prose is: ===================================================================== The current MAN command uses a z/OS unique man page format and man database. As others port tools (see the z/OS Open Tools project on Github at https://zosopentools.github.io/meta/#/) to run under OMVS this presents challenges and a great barrier in the area of man pages as: 1. The man page format is different on OMVS when compared to the standard *nix man pages 2. The man database for OMVS is proprietary with no tools to update or add to it preventing ported/new tools from adding their man page to the database There are two solutions, with one better than the other. Preferred solution: Convert all existing OMVS man pages to the standard *nix format and provide a mandb tool to update the man page database. Alternate solution: Release the tool that builds the existing OMVS man page database. ===================================================================== Lionel B.
