I presume clang has some kind of man page. How do I install and/or activate it so that I can access it with man clang? mac-osx 2 Answers Voted Best Answer pavium 2009-12-28T02:45:38+08:002009-12-28T02:45:38+08:00 Speaking from a Linux perspective (which I think might be reasonably similar) the manual compilaton of a program, that is, by the usual make; make install may have already generated a man page, and installed it in an appropriate place. This might be done by the makefile. At least, I've observed this when installing Linux software.

If the authors did not create a man page they did create an on line manual. http://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html
