<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<B>hman</B>
script is an interface to <A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+man2html">man2html</A>(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
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+man">man</A></B>(1)
so that many people will be able to alias
<B>hman</B>
to
<B>man</B>.
If the browser used is netscape, and an incarnation of netscape
is running already,
<B>hman</B>
will pass the request to the existing browser.
