+.LO 1
+.SH NAME
+hman \- browse the on-line manual pages
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B hman
+[ -P \fIbrowser\fP ] [ -H \fIhost\fP ] [ \fIsection\fP ] \fIname\fP
+.br
+.B hman
+[ -P \fIbrowser\fP ] [ -H \fIhost\fP ] [ \fIsection\fP ] [ index ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B hman
+script is an interface to man2html(1) that allows you to enter man page
+requests at the command line and view the output in your favourite
+browser.
+The behaviour reminds of that of
+.BR man (1)
+so that many people will be able to alias
+.B hman
+to
+.BR man .
+If the browser used is netscape, and an incarnation of netscape
+is running already,
+.B hman
+will pass the request to the existing browser.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
