  18 Installing and uninstalling
  19 ===========================
  20 "make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/local/share/man/man[1-8].
  21
  22 To install to a path different from /usr/local, use
  23 "make install prefix=/install/path".
  24
  25 "make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
  26 distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
  27 use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.
  28
  29 To install only a specific man section (mandir) such as man3, use
  30 "make install-man3".  Similar syntax can be used to uninstall a
  31 specific man section, such as man7: "make uninstall-man7".
  32
  33 "make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
  34 install".
  35
  36 Consider using multiple threads (at least 2) when installing
  37 these man pages, as the Makefile is optimized for multiple threads:
  38 "make -j install".
