       Note that the network operations will be a little slower than perhaps you are used  to,  when  reading  a
       manpage.   Also note that you must be internet-connected, and able to access manpages.ubuntu.com for this
       utility to be useful.  Finally, the algorithm that dman uses to retrieve  remote  pages  is  considerably
       simpler than that of man(1).

dman  is a script that remotely retrieves manpages from http://manpages.ubuntu.com, but reads them on the
       local system.

       This is often useful to read a manpage of a utility that you do not have installed on the local system.

       It will cycle through each manpage section available for a given TOPIC.
