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

DWWW-CONVERT(8) Debian DWWW-CONVERT(8) 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 sys- tem 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 file- name that ends in `.gz' or `.bz2'. OPTIONS
--no-path-info Internal option used by the dwww's CGI script to let dwww-convert know, that the arguments following the option do not come from the PATH_INFO variable, but from the QUERY_STRING. FILES
