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	analo-
       gous 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 de-
	      tails 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  as-
	      sumes  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.)
