HMAN(1) HMAN(1)
NAME
hman - hypertext like manual.
SYNOPSIS
hman [xtoolkit-options] [-file fname] [man-options]
DESCRIPTION
I wrote this piece of software just to give show how to use the
HyperWidget(3X). It displays an manual page and highlight the
references to other Unix commands. Clicking on the highlighted text
will display the new manual page. You can type the key word/section
you are looking for in the appropriate text field. Pressing the enter
key will then display the new manual page. If In index toggle is on,
the display is the output of the man -k .. command. An history of the
100 last pages displayed is kept in memory and you can recall theses
pages with the "<<" and ">>" buttons. The Other button opens a file
as a manual page. The Clone button starts a new copy of hman. The
Search button searches a regular expression in the text.
OPTIONS
xtoolkit-options: the standard X/Motif stuff (-display, -xrm ...)
man-options: use the same option as your local man(1) command. -file
filename : reads manual page from file.

BUGS
If the man command split a reference over two lines, hman does not
recognize it. hman was only tested on a Sun.
