Man Man to Teach You More About Linux

image

No matter how deep your knowledge is about PCs, you occasionally may find yourself with a certain question that needs to be answered. All major operating system have thorough documentation with loads of useful information. Smartphones can come in handy when you have no access to the Internet on your PC or your desktop environment doesn’t want to initialize properly.

Not too long ago, we talked about Linux Man Pages by XDA Senior Member sylsau. This application allows you to browse through GNU/Linux manual pages and even save them on SD card. A nice alternative was recently presented by XDA Forum Member Antic1tizen. Man Man is an application that can read man pages, and it contains the following features:

  • Supports searching for a single command
  • Supports explaining command one-liners
  • Supports browsing and indexing of man chapters
  • Supports caching of man pages that were previously accessed
  • Supports loading and viewing troff files from local man archive

Man Man is distributed under the GPLv3 license. You can help the developer improve the project by sending pull requests. More information about the project and of course the download links can be found in the Man Man – view *nix manpages application thread. If you’re a Linux enthusiast, don’t hesitate to go there to learn more.
