dman(1)

dman1

Read man pages from manpages.debian.org

Usage

dman [--release suite] man-page

Overview

dman fetches a manpage from the online service manpages.debian.org using and curl and displays it locally using man -l. If the --release argument is provided, packages are fetched from that suite instead of the default suite, found through /etc/lsb-release or lsb_release -c -s.

Environment

dman will fetch translated pages first if the $LANG or $LC_MESSAGES environment variables are set. It will fallback to the default manpage if the translated version is not found.

Releases
