What is the right way to extend MANPATH in Solaris? Currently it is empty for a user session, so I get to do it manually in $HOME/.bash_profile:

MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/sfw/man:/opt/solarisstudio12.3/man
export MANPATH

But is this right? On linux, for instance I could update /etc/manpath.config and this would be visible to all users; or man -w would help figure out man pages location. I don't know how I could do this on Solaris.

Looks like we don't really need MANPATH at all, simply adjust PATH and the man commands would do the rest.
