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
