DWWW-BUILD-MENU(8)

✨ NAME ✨

dwww-build-menu — bestie, this one builds the dwww Debian Documentation Menu 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dwww-build-menu

That's it. No flags, no args, no drama. She just does it. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, dwww-build-menu is part of the dwww package, and what that package does is give you access to on-line documentation on a Debian system via WWW. Iconic behaviour honestly. 🌈

And this little script right here? She generates the Debian Documentation Menu pages — the ones you can vibe with at http://localhost/dwww/menu/ — and she pulls them from files that got registered with the doc-base program, which you'll find chillin' in /var/lib/doc-base/documents. No cap. 🫶

The generated pages get stored in the DWWW_DOCROOTDIR/dwww/menu directory. And the default for that? /var/www/dwww/menu. Noted. ⭐

💖 FILES 💖

• /etc/dwww/dwww.conf — the configuration file for dwww. Yes queen, settings live here. 🎀
• /var/www/dwww/menu — the default directory where the generated menu pages go to live their best lives. 👑
• /var/lib/dwww — temporary directory used while generating the pages. It's giving backstage area, it's giving "don't get attached, she's just passing through". ✨
