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  executes  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  assumes
	    that man(1) is compatible with apropos(1) and accepts the -s parame-
	    ter.   Overriding  MANCHA_MAN  therefore  also overrides the command
	    used for man-k, so long as MANCHA_APROPOS is not set.)
