NAME
dwww-convert - convert files to HTML for dwww
SYNOPSIS
dwww-convert
[--no-path-info]
type
location
DESCRIPTION
dwww-convert
is part of the dwww package,
which provides access to on-line documentation on a Debian system via WWW.
dwww-convert
converts documentation to HTML so that it can be viewed with a WWW browser.
dwww-convert
is usually run by the WWW server, but can also be run by hand.
The
type
argument gives the type of the file, one of:
- file
-
An arbitrary file; the type is guessed using simple heuristics based on
the filename.
- dir
-
A directory. If the directory contains the file
index.html or index.htm
that file will be returned. Otherwise,
A listing of the files in the directory is generated.
- html
-
An HTML file. The file is returned as is.
- man
-
A manual page. The location is the pathname of the nroff source file.
- runman
-
A manual page. The location is the name of the manual page and its
section, separated by a slash. For example,
the location would be
intro/1
to refer to the
intro(1)
manual page.
- info
-
An Info file.
- text
-
A plain text file (using the ISO-8859-1 character set).
An unknown file type is treated as
text.
The
location
argument gives the filename of the file.
The name must be complete, i.e., it must start at the root directory (/).
The name must not contain any symbolic links (cf.
realpath(1)).
The file must be located in or below a directory that has been allowed
by the system administrator; see
dwww(7)
for more info.
The file may be compressed with
gzip(1)
or
bzip2(1).
It is uncompressed automatically and invisibly.
Compression is indicated by a filename that ends in `.gz' or `.bz2'.
