	Actually, there is the little known (visible in source only) -P
      flag, which specifies the use of an alternate root directory, other
      than /usr/man.  So man -P/usr/local/man getopt would find getopt(3C)
      in the /usr/local/man/man3/getopt.3C file.
       This is useful if you install things on a machine for which you have not
       the root passwd, yet want to have man pages for your utilities...
