The behaviour reminds of that of .BR man (1) so that many people will be able to alias .B hman to .BR man . If the browser used is netscape, and an incarnation of netscape is running already, .B hman will pass the request to the existing browser. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-\^P " browser" Specify which browser (like lynx, xmosaic, arena, chimera, netscape, amaya, ...) to use. This option overrides the .B MANHTMLPAGER environment variable. The default is the non-httpd version of .BR lynx . .TP .B \-\^H " host" Specify from what host to get the man pages. This option overrides the .B MANHTMLHOST environment variable. The default is .BR localhost . .SH ENVIRONMENT .TP MANHTMLPAGER The default browser to use is selected using this environment variable. .TP MANHTMLHOST The default host to use is selected using this environment variable. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR man (1), .BR man2html (1), .BR arena (1), .BR lynx (1), .BR netscape (1), .BR xmosaic (1), .BR glimpse (1) http://www.mcom.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html
