wman - A Web Interface to Man Pages
|
||
|
|
===================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wman is an app that allows you to export Unix and Plan 9-style man pages. It
|
||
|
|
can do this directly, without need to generate static html versions and will
|
||
|
|
automatically pick updates and new man pages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is also fairly smart in generating links for man page references.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configuration
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To display a collection of man pages in a desired path you can use the following config directive:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
conf_enable_wman /usr/share/man
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will allow you to browse the man pages under /usr/share/man.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For man pages organized in the traditional unix structure `manN/foo.N` where N is the section number, set in your config file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wman_unix_mode=1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Demo
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|

|
|
For a demo of this app see [man.cat-v.org](http://man.cat-v.org).

TODO
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* We don't handle compressed man pages, but this should be trivial to add.
|
||
|
|
* Unix systems might use different macros for their man pages.
|
||
|
|
* Search (using keywords? Google? grep?)
|
||
|
|
* Inferno contains man pages named like 'foo-0intro', which are refered as foo-intro(X), should automatically add (or remove) the extra '0' (Examples: sys-intro(2) and draw-intro(2)).
