NAME¶
dwww - access documentation via WWW
SYNOPSIS¶
http://localhost/dwww/index.html
dwww
dwww program-name |
package-name
DESCRIPTION¶
A typical Linux system has documentation in many formats (manual pages, info
files, READMEs, and so on). dwww makes it possible to access all of these via
the same interface, a WWW browser. This makes it easier to use the
documentation.
To use dwww, load the URL given in the SYNOPSIS. If you have a web browser
installed, you can also just run the dwww command which loads the URL. If
BROWSER environment variable is set,
dwww uses
sensible-browser(1) to load the URL. Otherwise,
dwww first tries
to use browser specified by DWWW_BROWSER or DWWW_X11_BROWSER configuration
variable (cf.
dwww(7)), than will use
sensible-browser(1)
command.
If optional argument
program-name or
package-name is specified,
dwww will search all documentation related to given program or package.
ENVIRONMENT¶
- BROWSER
- Program used to load the above mentioned URL.
FILES¶
- /etc/dwww/dwww.conf
- Configuration file for dwww.
SEE ALSO¶
