A typical Linux system has documentation in many formats (manual pages,

dwww makes it possible to access all of these via the same interface,
a WWW browser.
This makes it easier to use the documentation.

If you have a web browser installed, you can also just run the dwww command
which loads the URL.

.BR dwww (7)),
than will use
.BR sensible\-browser (1)
command.
