I'm looking for the windows executable for the linux man (manual reader).
I tried googling around, but got frustrated with the kind of results it came up with, owing to 'man' being such a common phrase.
I got results that read "man executed in texas..".
So I look to the SO community now. Any clues?
Here's my need: I have Portable Git on windows. It has a bash windows binary. But when it tries to show me help for some commands, the poor thing complains that "there is no manual reader". So if I get a man binary, I'll place it in the bin/ directory and all will be hunky-dory.
If you are looking to open linux style man pages in Windows, then get Groff for Windows to view the man pages on your command line as follows:
groff -Tascii -mm your_file | more
