bc. 
bc. SYNOPSIS
bc.        cppman [ OPTIONS...  ] PAGE...
bc. 
bc. DESCRIPTION
bc.        cppman  is part of the package manpages-cpp.  cppman generates C++ man‐
bc.        ual pages from cplusplus.com and provide a man-like interface  to  view
bc.        man pages.
bc. 
bc.        By default, cppman fetches man pages on demand, but by running the com‐
bc.        mand 'cppman -c', all available manpages  are  cached,  making  offline
bc.        browsing possible.
bc. 
bc.    Browsing man pages
bc.        cppman uses Vi Improved as a pager.
bc.        Press   'q'  to  leave  pager.   Press  'K'  on  an  entry  like  'vec‐
bc.        tor::insert(3)' links you to the manual page of vector::insert, like  a
bc.        hyperlink.
