DASHT-QUERY-HTML 1 2020-05-16 2.4.0

NAME

dasht-query-html - searches Dash docsets and emits HTML table rows

SYNOPSIS

dasht-query-html [PATTERN] [DOCSET]...

Examples

dasht-query-html

Topics (A-Z) from each installed docset.

dasht-query-html 'c - x'

Search for "c - x" in all installed docsets.

dasht-query-html 'c - x' bash

Search for "c - x" only in the "bash" docset.

dasht-query-html 'c - x' bash css

Search for "c - x" only in the "bash" and "css" docsets.

DESCRIPTION

Searches for PATTERN in all installed Dash docsets, optionally searching only in those whose names match DOCSETs, by calling dasht-query-line(1). The results are then printed, one per line, to stdout as HTML table rows. However, if no results were found, this program exits with a nonzero status.

Searching

Whitespace characters in PATTERN are treated as wildcards, whereas the SQL LIKE wildcard characters % and _ are not: they are taken literally.

Before searching, PATTERN is surrounded by whitespace wildcards so that it can match anywhere: beginning, middle, or end. As a result, if PATTERN is undefined, it becomes a whitespace wildcard and thereby matches everything.

ENVIRONMENT

DASHT_DOCSETS_DIR

Defines the filesystem location where your Dash docsets are installed. If undefined, its value is assumed to be $XDG_DATA_HOME/dasht/docsets/ or, if XDG_DATA_HOME is undefined, $HOME/.local/share/dasht/docsets/.

EXIT STATUS

44

No results were found.
