✨ DOCCENTRAL(1) ✨

okay so bestie, buckle up, because we're talking about doccentral — the web-based documentation browser 💖 it lives in the General Commands Manual section and honestly? she's serving.

🌸 NAME 🌸

doccentral — a web-based documentation browser 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

doccentral [document-name]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so there's literally one option you can pass to the doccentral wrapper, and it's just a document name:

  • [document-name] — a document name (and lowkey it's often the same as the name of the package which provides it) for direct access, meaning it does an automatic search for the given parameter 🔍✨

that's the list. one (1) item. no cap. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Doc-Central is a simple lil tool that helps you browse the documentation installed on your Debian system 🌈 it uses the doc-base registration entries for documentation to build up a whole list of the documentation that's available, and then you get to view that list via any web browser. iconic behaviour, fr fr 👑

the easiest way to peek at the doc-central index is to just use the doccentral tool — she'll look for a webbrowser on your system and start that with the correct page 🦋 no manual labour required, we love a self-sufficient queen.

but if for any reason doccentral cannot find a suitable browser, or you just wanna use a different one because you're built different, you can also just hit up this URL directly:

http://localhost/dc/

periodt. 💅

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • BROWSER — override the normal browser selection from doccentral by specifying a specific browser 🎀 (yes bestie, you get to choose. main character energy.)
  • DC_HOST — override the location of Doc-Central (which is usually localhost) 🌸

👑 AUTHOR 👑

  • Guilherme de S. Pastore <guilherme.pastore@terra.com.br>
  • Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>

the legends themselves. we stan. 💜

and that's the whole page, bestie!! no notes, she ate. 🍓

this was brought to you by the Debian tools corner of the Debian manual pages, DOCCENTRAL(1) edition — sending you love and a working webbrowser, mwah 💖💅✨
