man is a man pager. It has support for compressed pages
(both man pages and cat pages), and for locale ($LANG)
and for message catalogs ($LC_MESSAGES). It will format
files given explicitly (man ./foo.man.gz).
It conforms to FSSTND or FHS, and handles stray cats.
* man2html is a utility that converts man pages to html
* hman is a man browser that uses your favourite browser.
For use with lynx, no http daemon is required.
Keywords: man manpath apropos whatis makewhatis man.conf man2html
