NAME

cppman - C++ manual page viewer / fetcher

SYNOPSIS

cppman [ OPTIONS... ] PAGE...

DESCRIPTION

cppman generates C++ manual pages from cplusplus.com and provide a man-like interface to
view man pages.

By default, cppman fetches man pages on-the-fly, by running the command 'cppman -c', all
available manpages are cached, making offline browsing possible. This is also required if
you want to use the system 'man' command.

Browsing man pages
cppman uses Vi Improved as a pager.
Press 'q' to leave pager. Press 'K' on an entry like 'vector::insert(3)' links you to the
manual page of vector::insert, like a hyperlink.

man compatibility
cppman automatically adds '~/.local/share/man' to '~/.manpath', so the cached man pages
can also be viewed with 'man' command. Note that to view uncached man pages, you still
need to run 'cppman'.
