DWWW(1)                                       Debian                                      DWWW(1)



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  inter‐
       face, 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 docu‐
       mentation related to given program or package.

ENVIRONMENT
       BROWSER
              Program used to load the above mentioned URL.

FILES
       /etc/dwww/dwww.conf
              Configuration file for dwww.

SEE ALSO
       dwww-find(8), dwww(7), sensible-browser(1).
