1 wman - A Web Interface to Man Pages 2 =================================== 3 4 Wman is an app that allows you to export Unix and Plan 9-style man pages. It 5 can do this directly, without need to generate static html versions and will 6 automatically pick updates and new man pages. 7 8 It is also fairly smart in generating links for man page references. 9 10 Configuration 11 ------------- 12 13 To display a collection of man pages in a desired path you can use the following config directive: 14 15 conf_enable_wman /usr/share/man 16 17 This will allow you to browse the man pages under /usr/share/man. 18 19 For man pages organized in the traditional unix structure `manN/foo.N` where N is the section number, set in your config file: 20 21 wman_unix_mode=1 22 23 Demo 24 ---- 25 26 For a demo of this app see [man.cat-v.org](http://man.cat-v.org). 27 28 TODO 29 ---- 30 31 * We don't handle compressed man pages, but this should be trivial to add. 32 * Unix systems might use different macros for their man pages. 33 * Search (using keywords? Google? grep?) 34 * 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)).
