NAME

g.manual - Accesses GRASS User's Reference Manual entries.
(GRASS File Management Program)

SYNOPSIS

g.manual
g.manual help
g.manual [-1aefs] [entries=name[,name,...]]

DESCRIPTION

The g.manual command provides user access to the on-line GRASS User's Reference Manual entries. The user may request a list of available manual entries, and may get a manual entry printed to the terminal screen and/or to the line printer.

OPTIONS

g.manual can be run either interactively or non-interactively. If the user types:
g.manual
on the command line without program arguments, the program will prompt the user for a manual entry to display. The user may enter list to get a section-by-section listing of the manual entries available. Once the user has viewed the desired information it may be printed by responding to the questions appropriately.

The user can run the program non-interactively, by specifying the appropriate options and/or the name(s) of the manual entries to displayed.

OPTIONS

-1
This option will list all manual entries, one per line.
-a
This option will list all manual entries in a more appealing format. The manual page list will be separated by manual section.
-e
This option tells g.manual to ignore empty manual sections when printing the listings from the -1 or -a options.
-f
This option will add formfeeds to output listing when using the -a option.
-s
This option will cause g.manual to run silently. Instead of displaying the manual page it will simply set the exit status to:
0 if entry exists, or
1 if it does not exist.
These entries may also be accessed through the g.help command.
