debman - read man pages from uninstalled packages

Author

debman was written by Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>.

Description

debman  extracts a Debian package into a temporary directory and displays manual pages from it. If the -f
       option is used, it will use a local .deb file; if the -p option is  used,  it  will  download  the  named
       package  using debget.  If a version number is appended with "=" to the package name, the package of that
       version will be used (if known to APT).

Environment

debman intentionally ignores any $MANPATH environment variable that might be set, and constructs its  own
       such that only manual pages within the package will be displayed.
