hman(1)


NAME

   hman - browse the on-line manual pages

SYNOPSIS

   hman [ -P browser ] [ -H host ] [ section ] name
   hman [ -P browser ] [ -H host ] [ section ] [ index ]

DESCRIPTION

   The hman script is an interface to man2html(1) that allows you to enter
   man page requests at the command line  and  view  the  output  in  your
   favourite  browser.   The  behaviour  reminds of that of man(1) so that
   many people will be able to alias hman to man.  If the browser used  is
   netscape,  and an incarnation of netscape is running already, hman will
   pass the request to the existing browser.

OPTIONS

   -P  browser
          Specify which  browser  (like  lynx,  xmosaic,  arena,  chimera,
          netscape,  amaya,  ...)  to  use.   This  option  overrides  the
          MANHTMLPAGER environment variable.  The default is the non-httpd
          version of lynx, or sensible-browser if lynx cannot be found.

   -H  host
          Specify  from  what  host  to  get  the  man pages.  This option
          overrides the MANHTMLHOST environment variable.  The default  is
          localhost.

ENVIRONMENT

   MANHTMLPAGER
          The  default  browser  to use is selected using this environment
          variable.

   MANHTMLHOST
          The default host to  use  is  selected  using  this  environment
          variable.
