.SH DESCRIPTION
A typical Linux system has documentation in many formats (manual pages,
info files, READMEs, and so on).
dwww makes it possible to access all of these via the same interface,
a WWW browser.
This makes it easier to use the documentation.
.PP
To use dwww, load the URL given in the SYNOPSIS.
If you have a web browser installed, you can also just run the dwww command
which loads the URL.
If BROWSER environment variable is set,
.B dwww
uses
.BR sensible\-browser (1)
to load the URL.
Otherwise,
.B dwww
first tries to use browser specified by
DWWW_BROWSER or DWWW_X11_BROWSER configuration variable (cf.
.BR dwww (8)),
than will use
.BR sensible\-browser (1)
command.
.PP
If optional argument
.IR programname " or " packagename
is specified,
.B dwww
will search all documentation related to given program or package.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.IP BROWSER
Program used to load the above mentioned URL.
