This option will list all manual entries in a more appealing format. The manual page list will be separated by manual section.

This option will display a short description of all manual entries specified. If this option is used without a manual entrie's name a summary of all manual entries will be displayed (option yet not active).

Force to use man program rather than GRASS_TEXT_BROWSER, if any.

-s

Run silently to set exit status if entry exists. Requires only one command.

-q

Print man pages and quit.
Requires rman at ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/people/phelps/tcltk/rman.tar.Z.

These entries may also be accessed through the g.help command.

NOTES

To use hyperlink features of html pages, set env variable GRASS_TEXT_BROWSER to any text-based web browser that you want, e.g., lynx, w3m.
