NAME

       cppman - C++ manual page viewer / fetcher

SYNOPSIS

       cppman [ OPTIONS...  ] PAGE...

DESCRIPTION

       cppman generates C++ manual pages from cplusplus.com and provide a man-like interface to view man pages.

       By  default,  cppman  fetches  man  pages  on-the-fly,  by running the command 'cppman -c', all available
       manpages are cached, making offline browsing possible. This is also required  if  you  want  to  use  the
       system 'man' command.

   Browsing man pages
       cppman uses Vi Improved as a pager.
       Press 'q' to leave pager.  Press 'K' on an entry like 'vector::insert(3)' links you to the manual page of
       vector::insert, like a hyperlink.

   man compatibility
       cppman automatically adds '$XDG_CACHE_HOME/cppman/man' to '~/.manpath', so the cached man pages can  also
       be viewed with 'man' command. Note that to view uncached man pages, you still need to run 'cppman'.

OPTIONS

       -s SOURCE, --source=SOURCE
              Select source, either 'cppreference.com' or 'cplusplus.com'. Default is 'cplusplus.com'.

       -c, --cache-all
              cache all available man pages from cplusplus.com to enable offline 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

       -m MANDB, --use-mandb=MANDB
              Accepts 'true' or 'false'. If true, cppman adds manpage path to mandb so that  you  can  view  C++
              manpages with `man' command. The default value is 'false'.

       -p PAGER, --pager=PAGER
              Select pager to use, accepts 'vim' or 'less'. The default value is 'vim'.

       -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, cppman does not contain any pre‐cached contents.

       Do not distribute the cached man pages without the permission of cplusplus.com.
