bman

6. 7. 2026

Usage: bman [OPTIONS] [MAN_PAGE...]

Display man pages in your web browser with custom CSS styling.

Options:
  --dark          Use dark theme
  --modern        Use modern light theme
  -h, --help      Show this help message

If no MAN_PAGE is given and fzf is installed, opens an interactive fzf selection.
Note: to force exact match in fzf mode, prepend search with ', like 'vim

Examples:
  bman geany
  bman --dark ls
  bman --modern bash

Requires: man, xdg-open, sed, and fzf (for interactive mode).

Bman is a bash script originally written in 2018, some improvements in 2026 (fzf mode, slightly different html styling, better error handling, –help and more).

Ideas for improvement came from https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=9824.
