dwww-find is part of the dwww package, which provides
access to on-line documentation on a Debian system via WWW.
dwww-find searches for a documentation related to a given
program, for entries from Debian Documentation Menu, or at least for
documents registered with doc-base. It returns a HTML-formatted document
with search results.
- --package
argument
- Search for documentation (man pages, info files, etc.) related to
argument, which can be a name of package or program that is
installed in the system. The argument is passed to
dwww-quickfind(8) to retrieve a list of names of packages related
to it.
- Search for entries in Debian Documentation Menu pages generated by
dwww-build-menu(8).
- --documentation

- Search in documentation files registered with doc-base. It uses
search++(1) for searching.

has been allowed by the system administrator; see dwww(7) for more
info.

should be specified as format/document-id, where document-id
is an identificator of registered doc-base document, and format is
a name of format (e.g. text or pdf) registered by the document, for which
the list list is to be generated.

results.
