Its a inline macro that easily links manual pages from an online manpage service like Debian Manpages.

Synopsis

man:$MANPAGE[$VOLNUM]

Attributes

There are optional attributes that can be passed.

  • volnum expects the section number where the manual page belongs to. This attribute is another way to indicate the section in case you start to use more attributes. The value from volnum attribute has higher precedence. When both the positional argument and volnum attribute is passed, the volnum attribute will be used.

  • domain is the domain of the online manpage service. By default, it uses manpages.debian.org.

Example usage

  • man:crontab[5] will link to the default manpage service with crontab(5) manual page.

  • man:man[volnum=1, domain=man.archlinux.org/man] will link to the man manpage from man.archlinux.org.
