Package: qman (1.5.1-1 and others)

[ Source: qman  ]

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.
