MANCHA(1)                   General Commands Manual                  MANCHA(1)

NAME
       mancha - view manual pages via cha(1)

SYNOPSIS
       mancha [-M path] [section] name
       mancha [-M path] [section] -k keyword
       mancha -l file

DESCRIPTION
       mancha enables viewing man pages using the Chawan browser.  It is
       analogous to the w3mman(1) utility.

       mancha will call cha(1) with the appropriate man:, man-k: or man-l:
       URLs.  The protocol adapter then opens the man page and injects markup
       into it, e.g. man page references are converted into man: links.

OPTIONS
       Command line options are:

       -M path
              Set path as the MANPATH environment variable.  See man(1) for
              details of how this is interpreted.

       -k keyword
              Use keyword for keyword-based man page search.

       -l file
              Open the specified local file as a man page.

ENVIRONMENT
       Following environment variables are used:

       MANCHA_CHA
              If set, the contents of the variable are used instead of cha.
              (Note that the cha command is called through system(3), so you
              do not have to override it so long as cha is found in your
              PATH.)

       MANCHA_MAN
              If set, the contents of the variable are used instead of
              /usr/bin/man.

       MANCHA_APROPOS
              If set, the contents of the variable are used instead of
              /usr/bin/man.

       (This is not a typo; normally (except on FreeBSD), mancha assumes that
       man(1) is compatible with apropos(1) and accepts the -s parameter.
       Overriding MANCHA_MAN therefore also overrides the command used for
       man-k, so long as MANCHA_APROPOS is not set.)
