Doing (on Windows with stock TexLive2021)
texdoc -D texdoc
gives a lot of messages irrelevant to this discussion (but which include
texdoc debug-config: Setting "viewer_pdf=sumatraPDF" from environment variable "PDFVIEWER_texdoc".
texdoc debug-config: Ignoring "viewer_pdf=sumatraPDF" from environment variable "PDFVIEWER".
), then does
texdoc debug-view: Using "viewer_pdf" to open the file.
texdoc info: View command: sumatraPDF "d:\programs\texlive\2021.local\texmf-dist\doc\support\texdoc\texdoc.pdf"
texdoc info: Setting environment LC_CTYPE to: English_United States.1252
texdoc error: Failed to execute: sumatraPDF "d:\programs\texlive\2021.local\texmf-dist\doc\support\texdoc\texdoc.pdf"
The documentation is open successfully (by sumatraPDF!), but the last
error line is produced even without “-D” flag.
(I have
PDFVIEWER=sumatraPDF
PDFVIEWER_texdoc=sumatraPDF
in environment.)
Hope this helps,
Ilya
