DWWW(1)                             Debian                             DWWW(1)

NAME
       dwww - access documentation via WWW

SYNOPSIS
       http://localhost/dwww/index.html
       dwww
       dwww program-name | package-name

DESCRIPTION
       A typical Linux system has documentation in many formats (manual pages,
       info files, READMEs, and so on).  dwww makes it possible to access  all
       of  these  via the same interface, a WWW browser.  This makes it easier
       to use the documentation.

       To use dwww, load the URL given in the SYNOPSIS.  If  you  have  a  web
       browser  installed,  you can also just run the dwww command which loads
       the URL.  If BROWSER environment variable  is  set,  dwww  uses  sensi-
       ble-browser(1)  to  load  the  URL.  Otherwise, dwww first tries to use
       browser specified by  DWWW_BROWSER  or  DWWW_X11_BROWSER  configuration
       variable (cf.  dwww(7)), than will use sensible-browser(1) command.

       If  optional  argument  program-name or package-name is specified, dwww
       will search all documentation related to given program or package.

ENVIRONMENT
       BROWSER
              Program used to load the above mentioned URL.

FILES
       /etc/dwww/dwww.conf
              Configuration file for dwww.
