RELNOTES(1)                                                        RELNOTES(1)


NAME
     relnotes - on-line release notes viewer

SYNOPSIS
     relnotes [ -h ]
     relnotes <product>
     relnotes [ -t ] <product> <chapter> ...

DESCRIPTION
     relnotes is an interface to the on-line release notes.  It displays the
     release notes by product and chapter using the man(1) command.  It can
     also show which products' release notes are installed and the title of
     each chapter installed.

     With no arguments, relnotes shows which products have release notes
     installed.

     -h                  shows how to use the command.

     product             shows the chapters that are installed for the named
                         product.  If no table of contents file can be found,
                         relnotes shows you a list of chapter numbers.

     product chapter ... displays the specified chapter(s) from the named
                         product's release notes.  If chapter is '*' (quoted
                         asterisk), then all chapters are displayed one after
                         the other.  The display is done via the man(1)
                         command.

     -t product chapter ...
                         prints the specified chapter(s) from the named
                         product's release notes.  The resulting hardcopy
                         won't be as nicely formatted as the hardcopy of the
                         release notes that you received with the product
                         tape, but will usually be sufficiently legible.

NOTES
     1.   The product and chapter can now be specified without using the -p
          and -c options, so they are no longer supported.

     2.   By default relnotes looks in the directory /usr/relnotes for release
          notes. The environment variable RELNOTESPATH allows a different
          release notes directory to be specified.
