DEBMAN(1) |
NAME¶
debman - read man pages from uninstalled packages
SYNOPSIS¶
debman -f filename [-- man(1) options]
name
debman -p package [-- man(1) options]
name
DESCRIPTION¶
debman extracts a Debian package into a temporary directory and displays
manual pages from it. If the -f option is used, it will use a local
.deb file; if the -p option is used, it will download the named
package using debget.
ENVIRONMENT¶
debman intentionally ignores any $MANPATH environment variable
that might be set, and constructs its own such that only manual pages within
the package will be displayed.
AUTHOR¶
debman was written by Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>.
