.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
utility will attempt to launch different programs until it can find an
|
||
|
|
adequate one to display the Void Linux documentation. If it is invoked
|
||
|
|
without a search term, it will show the documentation's home
|
||
|
|
page. Multiple search terms can be used to filter results. If the user
|
||
|
|
has the
|
||
|
|
.Xr fzf 1
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.Xr sk 1
|
||
|
|
utilities installed in their system, it will be used to browse the
|
||
|
|
results. Otherwise,
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
will immediately display the first search result. If the
|
||
|
|
.Fl s
|
||
|
|
flag is used,
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
will display the search results instead of the documentation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

.Sh BUGS
|
||
|
|
The Void Linux documentation tries to limit itself to content that is
|
||
|
|
specific to Void. Therefore, if you feel something is missing, it
|
||
|
|
might have been deliberate. However, if there is any information that
|
||
|
|
is mistaken, outdated or indeed missing, please report an issue at
|
||
|
|
.Lk https://github.com/void-linux/void-docs .
