qman 1.5.1-1
Package Information
| Description | modern manual pages (manpages) viewer Unix manual pages are lovely. They are concise, well-written, complete, and downright useful. However, the standard way of accessing them from the command-line hasn't changed since the early days. Qman aims to change that. Qman is a modern, full-featured manual page viewer featuring hyperlinks, web browser like navigation, a table of contents for each page, incremental search, on-line help, and more. It also strives to be fast and tiny, so that it can be used everywhere. Features: - Index page that displays all manual pages available on the system, sorted alphabetically and organized by section. - Pages for apropos and whatis results. - Hyperlinks to other manual pages. - Hyperlinks for URLs and email addresses. - Hyperlinks to files or directories in the local filesystem. - In-page hyperlinks. - A table of contents for each manual page. - Incremental search for manual pages. - Incremental free page text search. - Command-line options similar to those of man (most importantly, -k and -f). - Keyboard mappings similar to those of less. - Mouse support. - Navigation history. - On-line help. - Fully configurable using INI-style config files. - Manual page. - Support for several different manual page systems: ~ mandb - most Linux distributions; ~ mandoc - Void Linux, Haiku, others?; ~ freebsd - FreeBSD; ~ darwin - macOS. - Hyperlinks to files or directories in the local filesystem (new config option viewer_path can be used to specify the program for opening them). - New [capabilities] config file section enables users to disable several non-core program features. - Qman has several themes. |
