SHOWMAN(1) User commands SHOWMAN(1)
NAME
showman - let a running manview show manual pages
SYNOPSIS
showman [section] pagename { [section] pagename }
DESCRIPTION
This program is intended to be used together with manview(1),
a manual displaying tool.
If and only if manview is already running, showman can send
a message to it in order to have the desired manual pages
be displayed in a separate window each.
The combination of manview and showman can be viewed as a
client-server combination where manview is the server and
showman the client, which is used in a shell.
There are currently eight sections supported:
section 1 user commands
section 2 system calls
section 3 library calls
section 4 devices
section 5 file formats
section 6 games
section 7 miscellaneous stuff
section 8 system administration
The section is chosen with its number.
Example:
showman 1 nroff 3 fork
tries to have the manual pages of nroff in section 1 and of fork
in section 3 loaded.
RETURN VALUES
0 Message send to manview
1 not enough arguments
2 not enough memory for message
3 manview not running
