pinfo: Options
1
1 2.1.3 Options
1 -------------
1
1 The options in the last part of the example configuration file should be
1 fairly self-explanatory. The variables that can be set to true or false
1 do the same things as the commandline arguments with the same names.
1
1 MANUAL
1 If this is set to true the default is to first check for a man
1 page, instead of a texinfo file.
1
1 CUT-MAN-HEADERS
1 If set to true, then pinfo tries to cut off the repeated headers
1 throughout man pages.
1
1 CUT-EMPTY-MAN-LINES
1 If set to true, then pinfo tries to cut off the repeated newlines
1 (i.e. it will shorten each set of consecutive newlines to one
1 newline).
1
1 RAW-FILENAME
1 If set to true, the file argument is taken to be the name of a file
1 in the current working directory, i.e. the directories in
1 'INFOPATH' will only be searched if a file with this name is not in
1 the working directory.
1
1 APROPOS
1 If set to true, apropos is called if no info or man page is found.
1
1 DONT-HANDLE-WITHOUT-TAG-TABLE
1 If set to true, pinfo will not attempt to display texinfo pages
1 without tag tables.
1
1 HTTPVIEWER
1 Set this to the program you want to use to follow http links in
1 documents.
1
1 FTPVIEWER
1 Set this to the program you want to use to follow ftp links in
1 documents.
1
1 MAILEDITOR
1 Set this to your favourite email program, and it will be started if
1 you follow an email link in a document.
1
1 PRINTUTILITY
1 Utility, which you use for printing. I.e. 'lpr'. If you don't
1 use any, you may also try something like 'cat >/dev/lp1', or sth.
1 ;)
1
1 MANLINKS
1 This specifies the section names, which may be referenced in your
1 man pages (i.e. Xtoolkit man pages match the section 3Xt (see for
1 example XtVaCreateWidget) manpage), Xlib function pages match
1 section 3X11, etc. Such extensions may not be recognized by
1 default, so it is a good idea to add them).
1
1 INFOPATH
1 This allows you to override the default search paths for info
1 pages. Paths should be separated by colons.
1
1 MAN-OPTIONS
1 This specifies the options, which should be passed to the 'man'
1 program. (see man(1) for description of what they're like).
1
1 STDERR-REDIRECTION
1 Pinfo allows you to redirect the stderr output of called programms.
1 For example if you don't want to see man's error messages about
1 manual page formatting, you can use 'STDER-REDIRECTION">
1 /dev/null"'. This is the default.
1
1 LONG-MANUAL-LINKS
1 This is another true/false option, which decides whether your
1 system supports long manual section names, or not. (i.e.
1 "3ncurses" instead of "3").
1
1 FILTER-0XB7
1 This decides, whether you want to convert 0xb7 chars to 'o', or
1 not. For example for iso-8859-2 fonts this makes man's list marks
1 a bit nicer ;) (look for example at perl's man page, to see how
1 those marks look like).
1
1 QUIT-CONFIRMATION
1 This decides whether you want to use quit confirmation on exit, or
1 not.
1
1 QUIT-CONFIRM-DEFAULT
1 This yes/no option determines the default answer to the
1 QUIT-CONFIRMATION dialog. (default answer is when you press a key,
1 that does not match the asked question).
1
1 CLEAR-SCREEN-AT-EXIT
1 This true/false option determines if you want to have your screen
1 cleared at exit, or no.
1
1 CALL-READLINE-HISTORY
1 This true/false option determines if you want to have a prompt of
1 last history entry whenever calling readline wrapper, eg. in
1 subsequent searches.
1
1 HIGHLIGHTREGEXP
1 This is an option, through which you may pass to pinfo regexps,
1 which should be highlighted when working with document. Warning!
1 This may turn very slow if you use it without care!
1
1 SAFE-USER
1 This option is used to pass the name of user, to which suid when
1 pinfo is run with root privileges.
1
1 SAFE-GROUP
1 This option is used to pass the name of group, to which suid when
1 pinfo is run with root privileges.
