Description: small man(1) front-end for X
Gman is a simple front-end for the manual page system. The most basic job
of gman is to build a database for all the man pages and display them
(or part of them) on the screen. When user decides to read a man page,
gman will launch an external viewer to display the manual page. More than
one external viewer windows can be launched at the same time.
.
The default manual page viewer is a terminal window with the original
man(1). It can also launch gv, or a link to a CGI script which utilizes
man2html, for viewing manual pages using a web browser.
.
There is an index search function to look for the man pages that one needs.
It's simple, but it's useful.
