SYNOPSIS

       dwww-find [--package|--menu|--documentation|--docfile|--doc-base-list] [--skip=number] argument [...]

DESCRIPTION

       dwww-find  is part of the dwww package, which provides access to on-line documentation on a Debian system
       via WWW.

       dwww-find searches for a documentation related to a given program, for entries from Debian  Documentation
       Menu,  or  at  least  for  documents registered with doc-base.  It returns a HTML-formatted document with
       search results.

OPTIONS

       --package argument
              Search for documentation (man pages, info files, etc.) related to argument, which can be a name of
              package or program that is installed in the system. The argument is passed to dwww-quickfind(8) to
              retrieve a list of names of packages related to it.

       --menu argument
              Search for entries in Debian Documentation Menu pages generated by dwww-build-menu(8).

       --documentation argument
              Search in documentation files registered with doc-base.  It uses search++(1) for searching.

       --docfile argument
              Search for documentation for package, which contains the file specified by the argument.  The file
              must be located in or below a directory that has been allowed by  the  system  administrator;  see
              dwww(7) for more info.

       --doc-base-list argument
              Show  list  of  registerered  doc-base  files  for  given  argument,  which should be specified as
              format/document-id, where document-id is an identificator of  registered  doc-base  document,  and
              format  is a name of format (e.g. text or pdf) registered by the document, for which the list list
              is to be generated.

       --skip=number
