.SH DESCRIPTION
Both
.I man
and
.BI wm/ man
locate entries in this manual and display them.
The pages for entries named
.I title
within each specified
.IR section
are displayed.
If no sections are specified, matching pages
from all sections are printed.
Sections are given by number.
.PP
The
.B -f
option to
.I man
and
.I wm/man
prevent lookup in the manual index.
Instead, the remaining arguments are treated as
filenames.
.I Man
processes each file in turn.
.I Wm/man
adds each file to its page history and displays the first document in the list.
.PP
The
.I man
command prints the manual pages as formatted plain text to standard output.
Manual pages are written using Plan9
.I "troff -man"
macros for their markup and so
some detail is lost in conversion to plain text.
.BI Wm/ man
displays the pages in a graphical Wm window, providing a more faithful
reproduction of the intended layout.
.PP
.I Man
also accepts the following options:
.TP
.B -b
Print the pages and send them to
.IR plumber (1)
for display in an editor.
.TP
.B -n
Use
.I man2txt
to format the pages (default).
.TP
.B -p
Display the pages using
.IR wm/man .
.TP
.B -S
Do not search the manual indices for the names: only print pages whose file names match the
.IR titles .
.TP
.B -w
Print the names of the man page source files instead of formatting them.
.PP
.I Man2html
converts
.B "troff -man"
macro markup to an approximation in HTML on standard output.
Only one file is processed at a time.
It is assumed the input
.I file
is a manual page, in the given
.I section
(default: 1).
The optional
.I header
string replaces the default header
.BR "<HTML><HEAD>" .
The optional
.I initial
text will appear immediately after
.BR "<BODY>" .
The optional
.I trailer
string replaces the default trailer
.BR "</BODY></HTML>" .
.PP
.I Man2txt
converts
.B "troff -man"
macro markup
to plain text.
Each file is processed separately.
If no arguments are given, text from standard input is processed.
The converted text is written to standard output.
The
.B -p
option to
.I man2txt
specifies the page width in characters.
.PP
.I Lookman
finds the manual pages, in any section, that
contain all of the
.I keywords
given as arguments, and prints
.I man
commands and manual references for them, one per line.
In a
.IR wm-sh (1)
window,
any of the
.I man
commands can be selected with mouse button 2 and
sent
as a command; a manual reference can simply be
.IR plumb (1)'d
using mouse button 3.
The
.B -f
option causes
.I lookman
just to list the file names.
.PP
.I Sig
prints the type signature \- parameters and return types \- of
each
.I function
found in section 2 of this manual.
.SH FILES
.TF /man/1/INDEX
.TP
.B /man/?/*
Source files of manual pages.
.TP
.B /man/1/man
The source file for this manual page.
.TP
.B /man/?/INDEX

.I man
and
.BI wm/ man
to locate the source file containing a particular title.
.TP
.B /man/index
The
.I lookman
index.

.I "troff -man"
macros.
Other troff macro packages or output from preprocessors
such as
.I pic
or
.I tbl
will not be presented correctly.
