A typical Linux system has documentation in many formats (manual pages,
info files, READMEs, and so on).
dwww makes it possible to access all of these via the same interface,
a WWW browser.
This makes it easier to use the documentation.
To use dwww, load the URL given in the SYNOPSIS.
If you have a web browser installed, you can also just run the dwww command
which loads the URL.
If BROWSER environment variable is set,
dwww
uses
sensible-browser(1)
to load the URL.
Otherwise,
dwww
first tries to use browser specified by
DWWW_BROWSER or DWWW_X11_BROWSER configuration variable (cf.
dwww(7)),
than will use
sensible-browser(1)
command.
If optional argument
program-name or package-name
is specified,
dwww
will search all documentation related to given program or package.
