Is there a common location of all of the man files, so I can view them in a different editor instead of the cli?

Or is there a $ man dump command that I can use to export each individual man file for what’s installed

Thanks, Forever noob

    the command manpath will show the paths it searches. usually it’s /usr/share/man and /usr/man is a common location for them.

      And the man path can be configured using the $MANPATH environment variable, just like $PATH.

      Oh, and if you leave a colon : at the end of $MANPATH, then it’s like appending the default search path (which is binary specific I suppose).
