Gman is a simple front-end for the manual page system. The most basic job of gman is to build a database for all the man pages and display them (or part of them) on the screen. When user decides to read a man page, gman will launch an external viewer to display the manual page. More than one external viewer windows can be launched at the same time. . The default manual page viewer is a terminal window with the original man(1). It can also launch gv, or a link to a CGI script which utilizes man2html, for viewing manual pages using a web browser. . There is an index search function to look for the man pages that one needs. It's simple, but it's useful.
