#!/bin/sh # Man-cgi : a Common Gateway Interface which converts the output of # the "man" command to HTML # # Version : 1.11 SGI # # Author : Panagiotis J. Christias # SGI additions by Jeff C. Glover # # Usage : it goes in the /cgi-bin/ directory. When called without # arguments (http://www-server/cgi-bin/man-cgi) it output an # "Front Page" with a section list and query form. When called # with arguments, the first argument is the topic (e.g. ls) # and the second argument (optional) is the section to look in. # # Examples: # http://www.ntua.gr/cgi-bin/man-cgi?ls # http://www.ntua.gr/cgi-bin/man-cgi?sleep+3 # # Notice : Man-cgi uses the following two images, you may want to get them # and put them in your w3 server: # http://www.ntua.gr/images/doty.gif # http://www.ntua.gr/images/pages.gif # # Last update: Tue Jun 14 1994 # ### CONFIGURATION SECTION : change the following variables to fit your needs ### # The HTTPD server may not pass the enviroment variables to the script. # You should add your system path here : PATH=/etc:/usr/etc:/usr/local/bin:.:/usr/sbin:/usr/bsd:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11 export PATH # The same for the man path here : MANPATH=/usr/share/catman:/usr/share/man:/usr/catman:/usr/man export MANPATH # The full URL of the Man-cgi : MANCGI='http://loki.engr.sgi.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi' # The URL of the two images : DOT=http://loki.engr.sgi.com/Art/doty.gif PAGES=http://loki.engr.sgi.com/Art/pages.gif ### END OF CONFIGURATION SECTION ############################################### SECTION=$2 COMMAND=$1 echo "Content-type: text/html" echo "" if [ $# -eq 2 ] ; then if [ $2 = "00" ] ; then read a COMMAND=`echo $a | sed 's/command=\(.*\)&.*/\1/'` SECTION=`echo $a | sed 's/command=.*§ion=\(.*\) /\1/'` if [ $SECTION = "ANY" ] ; then SECTION="" fi; fi; fi if [ $# -ne 0 ] ; then cat <UNIX man pages : $COMMAND ($SECTION)

 UNIX ON-LINE Man Pages

  

  These are the UNIX man pages. The html versions are created on the fly
  by a simple shell/sed/awk script.
  

  
NOTICE: There are still problems with
  the man pages that are not stored in the right section. In
  this case you'ld get an empty page. Follow the link at the top of the
  empty page and you'll your man page (hopefully).

  
  Here are the intro pages of each section:
  

  
    
  
  1. USER COMMANDS
  
  2. SYSTEM CALLS
  
  3. C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS
  
  4. DEVICES AND NETWORK INTERFACES
  
  5. FILE FORMATS
  
  6. GAMES AND DEMOS
  
  7. ENVIRONMENTS, TABLES, AND TROFF MACROS
  
  8. MAINTENANCE COMMANDS
  
  9. NEW MAN PAGES
  
  10. OLD MAN PAGES
  
  11. LOCAL MAN PAGES
  
  12. PUBLIC MAN PAGES
  

  

  You can also request a man page by name and (optionally) by section:
  

  

  Set command name :  
  
  
Set Section number :
