DESCRIPTION
debman
extracts a Debian package into a temporary directory and displays manual
pages from it.
If the
-f
option is used, it will use a local
.deb
file; if the
-p
option is used, it will download the named package using
R debget .
ENVIRONMENT
debman
intentionally ignores any
$MANPATH
environment variable that might be set, and constructs its own such that
only manual pages within the package will be displayed.
