PAGER

The pager program used if the explanation is longer than 24 lines or more
than one explanation is requested. The default is pg. If you do not want
paging even for long explanations, using

-d

or setting PAGER=cat will

disable paging. A one-line form would be:

PAGER=cat explain {msgID} or explain -d {msgID}

EXPLAINDIR

The directory in which the explanation directories are found. The default
is ${PRODUCTROOT}/gendb/data/explain.

PRODUCTROOT

This is the installation directory and defaults to

/

(root).

VERBOSITY

This is a debugging aid. Setting it to anything causes debugging output to
be generated while explain performs its job.

The edExplain command allows you to add or change explanations. An
explanation comes in two parts, a file containing the explanation itself, and a
set of synonyms or translations that allow the explain command to find the
file under more than one tag. To create a new explanation, you must provide
both. When modifying an existing explanation, all you need to do is edit the
file containing the explanation.
