NAME
cppman – C++ manual page viewer / fetcher

SYNOPSIS
cppman [ OPTIONS… ] PAGE

DESCRIPTION
cppman is part of the package manpages-cpp. cppman generates C++ man‐
ual pages from cplusplus.com and provide a man-like interface to view
man pages.

By default, cppman fetches man pages on demand, but by running the com‐ mand ‘cppman -c’, all available manpages are cached, making offline browsing possible. Browsing man pages cppman uses Vi Improved as a pager. Press ‘q’ to leave pager. Press ‘K’ on an entry like ’vec‐ tor::insert(3)’ links you to the manual page of vector::insert, like a hyperlink.

OPTIONS
-c, —cache-all
cache all available man pages from cplusplus.com to enable off‐
line browsing

-C, —clear-cache clear all cached files -f KEYWORD, —find-page=KEYWORD find man page -o, —force-update force cppman to update existing cache when ‘—cache-all’ or browsing man pages that were already cached -r, —rebuild-index rebuild index database from cplusplus.com -v, —version show version information -h, —help show this help message and exit

NOTE
All contents should be cached by the user, manpages-cpp does not con‐
tain any pre-cached contents.

Do not distribute the cached man pages without the permision of cplus‐ plus.com.

BUGS
Although I spend a lot of time checking the format, there are still
pages that won’t display correctly.
Feel free to report the bug at:

http://github.com/Aitjcize/gettube/issues or mail://[email protected]. Please include the page name in the bug report.
