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.
