OpenMP documentation for the man-pages based documentation system

OpenMP Documentation

The repository is a consolidation of OpenMP documentation converted to TROFF format for use as man pages on systems which support the man based documentation system.

Installation Steps

1. Clone the repository using: git clone https://github.com/Shashank-Shet/OpenMP-man-pages.git
2. Run the create_zip.sh script. It should create a directory with all zipped versions of the man pages.
3. Create a folder named man in your home directory.
4. Within this directory create a new folder man3. Here 3 denotes the section which represents the type of pages being installed.
5. Copy the created zip files to the folder man3.
6. Setup MANPATH environment variable to search for pages in this directory. Open the file .bashrc in your home directory. It will be hidden by default, so either use the terminal, or change the default visibility settings of your file explorer.
7. Add the line export MANPATH=$HOME/man:$MANPATH.
8. Open a new terminal, and run man omp_get_wtime. It should display the man page for the corresponding function.
