FreeBSD Manual Pages
FreeBSD's "man.cgi" script presents the online manual pages for several versions of FreeBSD and other manual pages.


 * Location: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi
 * Similar service: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi
 * With no arguments: presents an index page with HTML form allowing user to enter query
 * Arguments:
 * query=name of a manual page http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=printf
 * null string: error message http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=
 * not specified: presents index page deriving default form values from the other arguments http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?sektion=8
 * sektion=section of manual page http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=printf&sektion=3
 * 1...9: the usual sections
 * 0 or null string: a section containing a matching manual page
 * manpath=name of operating system (NetBSD+2.0, others)
 * NetBSD+2.0 manual page from NetBSD 2.0 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=cgd&manpath=NetBSD+2.0
 * nonexistent choice: uses latest FreeBSD release and ports http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=nethack&manpath=Government+of+Earth
 * not specified: uses latest FreeBSD release and ports
 * apropos=type of query (0 or 1)
 * 0 or null string: present manual page
 * <tt>2</tt> or any greater integer: download a .tar.gz (what???)
 * <tt>1</tt> or anything else: present apropos search (searches the one-line synopsis strings of the manual pages) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=printf&apropos=1
 * format=format of result page (<tt>html</tt>, others)
 * <tt>html</tt>: HTML web page

To see pages such as nethack from FreeBSD ports, you must not set manpath to an OS that does not include ports. Note that the choice (currently <tt>FreeBSD+5.4-RELEASE+and+Ports</tt>) that contains ports changes when the site adds a new version of FreeBSD. Note that if you bookmarked an old manpath (like <tt>FreeBSD+5.2-RELEASE+and+Ports</tt>) it acts like a nonexistent choice, which by the above list "uses latest FreeBSD release and ports".
