.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmancha\fR enables viewing man pages using the Chawan browser. It is analogous
to the \fBw3mman\fR(1) utility.

\fBmancha\fR will call \fBcha\fR(1) with the appropriate \fIman:\fR,
\fIman-k:\fR or \fIman-l:\fR URLs. The protocol adapter then opens the man page
and injects markup into it, e.g. man page references are converted into
\fIman:\fR links.

.SH OPTIONS
Command line options are:

.TP
\fB\-M \fIpath\fR
Set \fIpath\fR as the MANPATH environment variable. See \fBman\fR(1) for
details of how this is interpreted.
.TP
\fB\-k \fIkeyword\fR
Use \fIkeyword\fR for keyword-based man page search.
.TP
\fB\-l \fIfile\fR
Open the specified local \fIfile\fR as a man page.

.SH ENVIRONMENT
Following environment variables are used:

.TP
.B MANCHA_CHA
If set, the contents of the variable are used instead of \fIcha\fR.

.TP
.B MANCHA_MAN
If set, the contents of the variable are used instead of \fI/usr/bin/man\fR.
