NAME
manpath - return the search path for manual pages

SYNOPSIS
import manpath

String
manpath.get_manpath(Integer debug_level = 0, Boolean quiet_mode = False);
String
manpath.get_locales(Integer debug_level = 0, Boolean quiet_mode = False);

DESCRIPTION
The get_manpath() function returns a string of colon separated directories containing manual pages.

The get_locales() function returns a string of colon separated locales for which there are localized manual pages.

For each of the two functions, if the optional debug_level is set to 1, 2 or 3 it will also print increasingly verbose debugging messages to the console.

And if the optional quiet_mode argument is set to True it will discard warning messages printed to the console.
