mkhtmlindex(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual mkhtmlindex(1)
NAME
mkhtmlindex - generate index files for HTML man pages
SYNOPSIS
mkhtmlindex htmlmandir
DESCRIPTION
The mkhtmlindex program generates index files for a direc-
tory of HTML-formatted manual pages. It searches for files
whose names are of the form name.1.html, and outputs index
files manindex1.html, manindex.2.html, and so on, one for
each manual volume. Empty index files will be removed. Names
and descriptions are found by scanning the first <H2> sec-
tion of each page.
OPTIONS
mkhtmlindex takes only one argument: the directory to pro-
cess.
NOTES
This utility is currently rather specific to XFree86. In
particular, the format of the index files it outputs is not
configurable, nor is the HTML formatting it expects of
manual pages.
