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 anal-
       ogous 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.)
