# Perldoc revision #1 -- look up a piece of documentation in .pod format that
# is embedded in the perl installation tree.
#
# This is not to be confused with Tom Christianson's perlman, which is a
# man replacement, written in perl. This perldoc is strictly for reading
# the perl manuals, though it too is written in perl.
#
# Version 1.11: Tue Dec 26 09:54:33 EST 1995
# Kenneth Albanowski <kjahds@kjahds.com>
# -added Charles Bailey's further VMS patches, and -u switch
# -added -t switch, with pod2text support
#
# Version 1.10: Thu Nov 9 07:23:47 EST 1995
# Kenneth Albanowski <kjahds@kjahds.com>
# -added VMS support
# -added better error recognition (on no found pages, just exit. On
# missing nroff/pod2man, just display raw pod.)
# -added recursive/case-insensitive matching (thanks, Andreas). This
# slows things down a bit, unfortunately. Give a precise name, and
# it'll run faster.
#
# Version 1.01: Tue May 30 14:47:34 EDT 1995
# Andy Dougherty <doughera@lafcol.lafayette.edu>
# -added pod documentation.
# -added PATH searching.
# -added searching pod/ subdirectory (mainly to pick up perlfunc.pod
# and friends.

# TODO:
#
# Cache directories read during sloppy match

=head1 NAME
perldoc - Look up Perl documentation in pod format.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<perldoc> [B<-h>] [B<-v>] [B<-t>] [B<-u>] PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName
=head1 DESCRIPTION
I<perldoc> looks up a piece of documentation in .pod format that is
embedded in the perl installation tree or in a perl script, and displays
it via pod2man | nroff -man | $PAGER. This is primarily used for the
documentation for the perl library modules.
Your system may also have man pages installed for those modules, in
which case you can probably just use the man(1) command.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 5
=item B<-h> help
Prints out a brief help message.
=item B<-v> verbose
Describes search for the item in detail.
=item B<-t> text output
Display docs using plain text converter, instead of nroff. This may be faster,
but it won't look as nice.
=item B<-u> unformatted
Find docs only; skip reformatting by pod2*
=item B<PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName>
The item you want to look up. Nested modules (such as C<File::Basename>)
are specified either as C<File::Basename> or C<File/Basename>. You may also
give a descriptive name of a page, such as C<perlfunc>. You make also give a
partial or wrong-case name, such as "basename" for "File::Basename", but
this will be slower, if there is more then one page with the same partial
name, you will only get the first one.
=back
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
Any switches in the C<PERLDOC> environment variable will be used before the
command line arguments. C<perldoc> also searches directories
specified by the C<PERL5LIB> (or C<PERLLIB> if C<PERL5LIB> is not
defined) and C<PATH> environment variables.
(The latter is so that embedded pods for executables, such as
C<perldoc> itself, are available.)

-h Display this help message.
-t Display pod using pod2text instead of pod2man and nroff.
-u Display unformatted pod text
-v Verbosely describe what's going on.
PageName|ModuleName...
is the name of a piece of documentation that you want to look at. You
may either give a descriptive name of the page (as in the case of
`perlfunc') the name of a module, either like `Term::Info',
`Term/Info', the partial name of a module, like `info', or
`makemaker', or the name of a program, like `perldoc'.
Any switches in the PERLDOC environment variable will be used before the
command line arguments.
