The Missing AIX Documentation Project

Welcome to

AIX - All Intricacies eXplained

List of AIX commands lacking documentation:

mkinstallp (create installable packages)
imfs (create FS entries in /etc/filesystems)
getlvodm (get LVM information from LVCB and ODM)
ldeletepv (delete phantom disks from ODM)
lqueryvg (lists various VG information)
realpath (translate path to absolute form)
dmpdt_chrp (dump OpenFirmware device tree)
/usr/lib/nls/lstz (list timezone information)

If you want this list to be expanded, send me (or any other moderator) a message or post here. If you want to write documentation for a command: just do so. We will link your thread gladly to the command here so that your work is easily found.

Community Project AIX - All Intricacies eXplained

Hi everybody! In general the documentation of AIX is well done and rather complete. Still, there are a few undocumented parts of AIX and some of the undocumented commands offer things you just can't get done the "official" way. We once talked about collecting the information we collectively have...

dwww

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 sensible-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.

SEE ALSO

       dwww-find(8), dwww(7), sensible-browser(1).
