-h Display this help message

-r Recursive search (slow)

-i Ignore case
|
|
-t Display pod using pod2text instead of pod2man and nroff

(-t is the default on win32)

|
-u Display unformatted pod text
|
|
-m Display module's file in its entirety

-l Display the module's file name
|
|
-F Arguments are file names, not modules
|
|
-v Verbosely describe what's going on

PageName|ModuleName...
|
|
is the name of a piece of documentation that you want to look at. You
|
|
may either give a descriptive name of the page (as in the case of
|
|
`perlfunc') the name of a module, either like `Term::Info',
|
|
`Term/Info', the partial name of a module, like `info', or
|
|
`makemaker', or the name of a program, like `perldoc'.
|
|
|
|
BuiltinFunction
|
|
is the name of a perl function. Will extract documentation from
|
|
`perlfunc'.
|
|
|
|
FAQRegex
|
|
is a regex. Will search perlfaq[1-9] for and extract any
|
|
questions that match.
|
|
|
|
Any switches in the PERLDOC environment variable will be used before the
|
|
command line arguments. The optional pod index file contains a list of
|
|
filenames, one per line.

|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
I<perldoc> looks up a piece of documentation in .pod format that is embedded
|
|
in the perl installation tree or in a perl script, and displays it via
|
|
C<pod2man | nroff -man | $PAGER>. (In addition, if running under HP-UX,
|
|
C<col -x> will be used.) This is primarily used for the documentation for
|
|
the perl library modules.
|
|
|
|
Your system may also have man pages installed for those modules, in
|
|
which case you can probably just use the man(1) command.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 5
|
|
|
|
=item B<-h> help
|
|
|
|
Prints out a brief help message.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-v> verbose
|
|
|
|
Describes search for the item in detail.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-t> text output
|
|
|
|
Display docs using plain text converter, instead of nroff. This may be faster,
|
|
but it won't look as nice.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-u> unformatted
|
|
|
|
Find docs only; skip reformatting by pod2*
|
|
|
|
=item B<-m> module
|
|
|
|
Display the entire module: both code and unformatted pod documentation.
|
|
This may be useful if the docs don't explain a function in the detail
|
|
you need, and you'd like to inspect the code directly; perldoc will find
|
|
the file for you and simply hand it off for display.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-l> file name only
|
|
|
|
Display the file name of the module found.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-F> file names
|
|
|
|
Consider arguments as file names, no search in directories will be performed.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-f> perlfunc
|
|
|
|
The B<-f> option followed by the name of a perl built in function will
|
|
extract the documentation of this function from L<perlfunc>.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-q> perlfaq
|
|
|
|
The B<-q> option takes a regular expression as an argument. It will search
|
|
the question headings in perlfaq[1-9] and print the entries matching
|
|
the regular expression.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-X> use an index if present
|
|
|
|
The B<-X> option looks for a entry whose basename matches the name given on the
|
|
command line in the file C<$Config{archlib}/pod.idx>. The pod.idx file should
|
|
contain fully qualified filenames, one per line.
|
|
|
|
=item B<PageName|ModuleName|ProgramName>
|
|
|
|
The item you want to look up. Nested modules (such as C<File::Basename>)
|
|
are specified either as C<File::Basename> or C<File/Basename>. You may also
|
|
give a descriptive name of a page, such as C<perlfunc>. You may also give a
|
|
partial or wrong-case name, such as "basename" for "File::Basename", but
|
|
this will be slower, if there is more then one page with the same partial
|
|
name, you will only get the first one.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
|
|
|
|
Any switches in the C<PERLDOC> environment variable will be used before the
|
|
command line arguments. C<perldoc> also searches directories
|
|
specified by the C<PERL5LIB> (or C<PERLLIB> if C<PERL5LIB> is not
|
|
defined) and C<PATH> environment variables.
|
|
(The latter is so that embedded pods for executables, such as
|
|
C<perldoc> itself, are available.) C<perldoc> will use, in order of
|
|
preference, the pager defined in C<PERLDOC_PAGER>, C<MANPAGER>, or
|
|
C<PAGER> before trying to find a pager on its own. (C<MANPAGER> is not
|
|
used if C<perldoc> was told to display plain text or unformatted pod.)
|
|
|
|
One useful value for C<PERLDOC_PAGER> is C<less -+C -E>.
