XCHM(1)
π NAME π
xchm β bestie's fave Compiled HTML Help (CHM) file viewer for X. That's it, that's the whole vibe. β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
xchm [OPTIONS] [FILE]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so xchm is literally a viewer for Compiled HTML Help (CHM) files. It can show the contents tree if one is available, print the current page, and do the usual history stunts (yes, back and forward, the classics π
).
It also lets you change fonts and search for text in all the pages of the file, or in the pages' titles. So thorough. So iconic. π
the one thing it does NOT do: xchm does not handle Javascript in the book. no JS, no cap. π«
β¨ OPTIONS β¨
-c,--contextid=<num>β the context-Id to open in file. heads up tho: this one requires that a file be specified π«Ά-h,--helpβ displays the help message and exits. the lil "what do I even type" button π
