NAME

       dwww-convert - convert files to HTML for dwww

SYNOPSIS

       dwww-convert [--no-path-info] type location

DESCRIPTION

       dwww-convert  is  part  of  the  dwww package, which provides access to on-line documentation on a Debian
       system via WWW.  dwww-convert converts documentation to HTML so that it can be viewed with a WWW browser.
       dwww-convert is usually run by the WWW server, but can also be run by hand.

       The type argument gives the type of the file, one of:

       file   An arbitrary file; the type is guessed using simple heuristics based on the filename.

       dir    A  directory.   If  the  directory  contains  the  file  index.html or index.htm that file will be
              returned. Otherwise, A listing of the files in the directory is generated.

       html   An HTML file.  The file is returned as is.

       man    A manual page.  The location is the pathname of the nroff source file.

       runman A manual page.  The location is the name of the manual page and its section, separated by a slash.
              For example, the location would be intro/1 to refer to the intro(1) manual page.

       info   An Info file.

       text   A plain text file (using the ISO-8859-1 character set).

       An unknown file type is treated as text.

       The  location argument gives the filename of the file.  The name must be complete, i.e., it must start at
       the root directory (/).  The name must not contain any symbolic links (cf.  realpath(1)).  The file  must
       be  located  in  or  below a directory that has been allowed by the system administrator; see dwww(7) for
       more info.

       The file may be compressed with gzip(1) or bzip2(1).  It is  uncompressed  automatically  and  invisibly.
       Compression is indicated by a filename that ends in `.gz' or `.bz2'.

OPTIONS

       --no-path-info
              Internal  option  used  by  the  dwww's  CGI  script  to let dwww-convert know, that the arguments
              following the option do not come from the PATH_INFO variable, but from the QUERY_STRING.

FILES

       /etc/dwww/dwww.conf
              Configuration file for dwww.  See dwww(7) for more information.
