<para>
Using the man ioslave you are able to read the man pages installed
on your system. It is easy to use:
</para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><userinput><command>man:</command></userinput></term>
<listitem>
<para>See the sections of the manual, click to find the rest.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><userinput><command>man:</command><replaceable>fopen</replaceable></userinput></term>
<listitem>
<para>See the man page of <command>fopen</command>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><userinput><command>man:</command><replaceable>fopen(3)</replaceable></userinput></term>
<listitem>
<para>See the man page of <command>fopen</command> in section 3.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><userinput><command>man:</command><replaceable>(3)</replaceable></userinput></term>
<listitem>
<para>See the index of section 3.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><userinput><command>man:</command>intro<replaceable>(3)</replaceable></userinput></term>
<listitem>
<para>See the introduction of section 3.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>

<note><para>If there are more than one man page of the name that you
have entered, you will get a list where you can choose the man page
that you want to see.</para></note>

<para>
There is also a shortcut: <userinput><command>#fopen</command></userinput>,
which has the same effect as above.
</para>

<para>
If you do not find all your man pages, adjust the configuration file
<filename>/etc/manpath.config</filename>
(or a file of a similar name depending on your distribution)
or adjust the environment variables
<envar>MANPATH</envar> and <envar>MANSECT</envar>.
</para>

<para>
As with any other &tde; ioslave, it is possible to enter a &URL;, like
<userinput><command>man:socket</command></userinput> in <emphasis>any</emphasis>
&tde; application.  Try it in &kwrite; and you will see the man page in
&HTML; format.
</para>
