man.indent.width length man.indent.width Specifies width used for adjusted indents 4 The man.indent.width parameter specifies the width used for adjusted indents. The value of man.indent.width is used for indenting of lists, verbatims, headings, and elsewhere, depending on whether the values of certain man.indent.* boolean parameters are non-zero. The value of man.indent.width should include a valid roff measurement unit (for example, n or u). The default value of 4n specifies a 4-en width; when viewed on a console, that amounts to the width of four characters. For details about roff measurment units, see the Measurements node in the groff info page.
