dwww-build(8)

dwww-build8

Build dwww index lists

Usage

dwww-build [--verbose] --default

dwww-build [--verbose] html-directory

Overview

dwww-build builds the index lists of all available documents (manual pages, Info files, and so on); it should be run whenever documentation is installed or removed. dwww(7) does not work unless dwww-build has been run at least once; when the package is installed, it is run automatically. The default dwww installation creates a /etc/cron.daily/dwww, which automatically updates the pages each day.

The html-directory argument specifies the directory where all the dwww HTML files will be stored. No other files should be stored there. If --default is used, the files are generated in dwww subdirectory of the directory specified in the DWWW_DOCROOTDIR variable in the /etc/dwww/dwww.conf file. (Default is /var/www/dwww.)

Files

/etc/dwww/dwww.conf

Configuration file for dwww(7).

Files

/etc/dwww/dwww-user.css

If such a file exists, its contents will be appended to the dwww.css file.

/var/www/dwww

Where all dwww HTML files are stored, if nothing else is specified.

/var/lib/dwww

Directory used for temporary created files. Can be overridden with the DWWW_TMPDIR variable.
