NAME

dwww-convert - convert files to HTML for dwww

SYNOPSIS

dwww-convert [ --no-path-info ] type location

DESCRIPTION

dwww-convert is part of the dwww package, which provides access to on-line documentation on a Debian system via WWW. dwww-convert converts documentation to HTML so that it can be viewed with a WWW browser. dwww-convert is usually run by the WWW server, but can also be run by hand.

The type argument gives the type of the file, one of:

	file		An arbitrary file; the type is guessed using simple heuristics based on the filename.
	dir		A directory. If the directory contains the file index.html or index.htm that file will be returned. Otherwise, A listing of the files in the directory is generated.
	html		An HTML file. The file is returned as is.
	man		A manual page. The location is the pathname of the nroff source file.
	runman		A manual page. The location is the name of the manual page and its section, separated by a slash. For example, the location would be intro/1 to refer to the intro (1) manual page.
	info		An Info file.
	text		A plain text file (using the ISO-8859-1 character set).

An unknown file type is treated as text .

The location argument gives the filename of the file. The name must be complete, i.e., it must start at the root directory (/). The name must not contain any symbolic links (cf. realpath (1)). The file must be located in or below a directory that has been allowed by the system administrator; see dwww (7) for more info.

The file may be compressed with gzip (1) or bzip2 (1). It is uncompressed automatically and invisibly. Compression is indicated by a filename that ends in ‘.gz’ or ‘.bz2’.
