Man's manual have the following
Specify the configuration file to use; the default is /private/etc/man.conf. (See man.conf(5).)
The PATH is in bold for /private/etc/man.conf in man. It suggests me that it could be a hyperlink to the file. It would be cool to have a Emacs-like moving in man.
I have not succeeded to enter the file directly from man's manual.
How can you go the file directly from man's manual without doing the following in man?
Ctrl-Z
emacs /private/etc/man.conf
I don't know that I understand your question.
You can view the man pages in Emacs:
M-x man man
And from within the man page that comes up, with the point on the path in bold.
M-x find-file-at-point
