<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.
