Sman is the Searcher for Man pages. It depends on an index which is built by the included sman-update which by default resides in /var/lib/sman/sman.index.
The two included progams, sman and sman-update, will both search for the first configuration file named sman.conf in /etc, /usr/local/etc/, $HOME, or the directory with sman. If no sman.conf file is found (or specified through the --config option), then the default configuration in /usr/local/etc/sman-defaults.conf will be used.
NOTE: In all cases command line options take precedence over directives read from configuration files.
