Free man software for mac

VuMan is a Mac OS X graphical user interface to the main system of Unix software documentation, the man page. Man pages are concise but thorough descriptions of the functionality and methods of the various Unix command-line programs; there may be hundreds of such programs installed on a Unix or Linux system.
Man pages are typically accessed in the Unix terminal by typing the phrase "man program," with "program" being the specific name of the Unix tool you are trying to learn more about. VuMan provides a friendlier interface to the Unix man page system. It links together a number of Unix command-line tools to make searching, reading, and printing man page documentation a simple task.
Enhancements:
- Better visual feedback from toolbar buttons.
- Upgrades of supporting libraries to latest versions.

ManOpen is a MacOS X GUI application for viewing Unix manual pages, which are the standard documentation for Unix command line programs, programmer libraries, and other system information.

It can open files directly or be given titles, in which case it will display the output from the `man command-line program. An apropos interface is also provided, which is basically a quick-and-dirty search of the man page databases. Services are provided to other applications to open selected files/titles or do apropos searches using the selected text.

Xmanview 1.0 is considered as a flexible and effective tool which uses rma, designed to allow you to convert man pages into HTML with hyperlinking. Apropos style output can be generated by prepending the man page request with '-k'. Actually, anything you type into the request field will be passed to the underlying man command as arguments.

Application use: Simply type the name of the man page you want to view into the field and press enter/return. The application will generate and display the man page via the 'man' program and rman (or a perl filter for apropos output).

Once output has been displayed, click on any of the blue hyperlinks to go to traverse between the table of contents and sections in the man page. In apropos output, click any of the links to view the man page. See also references are also hyperlinks and will take you to the appropriate man page.

The combo box at the top of the window also provides a history of the last 15 requests. Pull down and select any request to go to that page.

As man page generation is relatively quick, no attempt is made to cache results. This has the added advantage of ensuring that displayed man pages are always up to date with whatever is installed on the system.

Any additional flags to man can simply be typed into the field. I.e. to generate an apropos listing for "open", simply type.

-k open

.... into the field. Likewise, you can generate output containing all of the different open man pages by....

-a open

Command Line Access

Included with the application is a command line utility called xmv. xmv is used exactly like man. As such, requesting the man page for 'ls' is as simple as typing...

xmv ls

.... and grabbing the apropos output for directory can be done via...

xmv -k directory

It is recommended that you install in /usr/local/bin/. Alternatively, create a bin directory in your home directory and stick xmv in that directory. (If you do this from a shell, use the 'rehash' command to cause the shell to update its table of the commands available and their location).

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.0 or higher
