nxman is a utility to get NeXT documentation from the command line.

It has the following usage:

nxman [-nf] [-pager <pagerpath>] [-searchdir <dir>] <object> ...

	-nf			Don't filter the resultant files through rtf-ascii
	-pager		Set the pager used to <pagerpath>.  Useful for using
					openfile(1) in conjunction with -nf to open the file
					in Edit
	-searchdir	By default it will search
					/NextLibrary/Documentation/NextDev/GeneralRef
	<object>		List of names to search for.

Examples:

	nxman NXBrowser
		Will write the documentation file of NXBrowser to the terminal
		after stripping RTF information and pipe through the user's 
		default PAGER (or more if that doesn't exist).
	
	nxman -nf -pager openfile NXBrowser
		Opens the NXBrowser documentation file in Edit
