[Radiance-general] Manual Pages

[Guglielmetti, Robert]

If you use the NREL Radiance installers for MacOS or Linux, they place the manpages in a "man" subdirectory of the radiance install location. Just add that to your MANPATH variable, and you can pull up the latest manpages from the command line. I also just discovered that groff has been ported to Windows (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/groff.htm), so I will start including the manpage subdirectory in our Windows installers as well, and you can use the groff for Windows utility to read them. I highly recommend going this route rather then printing them all out, since you'll always be up to date, and save a few sheets of paper while you're at it.  I will be rebuilding the Radiance installers here soon, because there are some new features and bug fixes that I want to get out there (as well as the manpages for Windows users). I'll post an update here when they are live.

Hi all,

I want to download a list of all the Radiance commands to add to my library. The compiled PDFs are dated 1994 and refer to rview not rvu. Is there a more recent compilation of these commands? If not, is there anything else I should be aware of that has changed for the commands?

I also downloaded the man_pages.tar.gz file with all the HTML pages of commands, but as they’re separate files printing would be much more tedious. (FYI the original link is broken http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/refer/man_html.tar.gz)

Here is the complete PDF:
http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/refer/manpages.pdf

And here is the rvu manual page dated 2004
http://radiance-online.lbl.gov:82/learning/documentation/manual-pages/pdfs/rvu.pdf

If I’m going to print out 179 pages as an office reference manual, I want to make sure they’re the right ones!

Thanks all for the feedback so far. The knowledge contained in this community is fantastic.

Kind regards,
Alex
