Void Linux documentation
void-docs |
[OPTIONS] [search terms] |
The void-docs
utility will attempt to
launch different programs until it can find an adequate one to display the
Void Linux documentation. If it is invoked without a search term, it will
show the documentation's home page. Multiple search terms can be used to
filter results. If the user has the fzf(1)
or sk(1) utilities installed in their system,
it will be used to browse the results. Otherwise,
void-docs
will immediately display the first search
result. If the -s
flag is used,
void-docs
will display the search results instead of
the documentation.
The programs void-docs
will try to use
are, in order of preference:
BROWSER
.DISPLAY
or
WAYLAND_DISPLAY
environment variable is
set.It should be noted that for the PDF version,
void-docs
doesn't support search results.
For a better browsing experience, installing fzf(1) is recommended.

This man page is part of the void-docs package and is available from https://github.com/void-linux/void-docs.
The Void Linux documentation tries to limit itself to content that is specific to Void. Therefore, if you feel something is missing, it might have been deliberate. However, if there is any information that is mistaken, outdated or indeed missing, please report an issue at https://github.com/void-linux/void-docs.
