✨ ICEHELP(1) — the icehelp page, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is the manual for icehelp, out of the icehelp(1) section of the user commands — yes the title's the same as the thing, that's just how manpages roll 💅

💖 NAME 💖

icehelp — a very simple HTML browser. like, very simple. she's not trying to be Chrome, she's just here to help 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

icehelp [OPTIONS] FILENAME

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

icehelp is a very simple HTML browser, and honestly her whole job is being the designated reader for icewm(1) — she's the one who displays the IceWM Manual and the manpages. main character energy, but make it documentation ✨

You can navigate the document with cursor keys, navigation keys, and a scrollbar. Want to find text? Hit Ctrl+F and a search window pops up. Then hit the F3 function key to repeat that search — no cap, that's the whole search sitch 🔍

Up in the top right corner there's a button, and clicking it opens a menu. You can also open that same menu with a right mouse button click. two ways to slay the same menu, we love options 💅

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • FILENAME — the file you want to browse. it can also be the URL of a website, so she's flexible like that 🌈

💜 OPTIONS 💜

🌸 SPECIFIC OPTIONS 🌸

  • -B — displays the IceWM icewmbg manpage.

⭐ GENERAL OPTIONS ⭐

  • -d, --display=DISPLAY — use DISPLAY to connect to the X server. if you leave this option out, then DISPLAY gets read from the environment variable DISPLAY. she'll find it, don't worry 🧚
