I don't think that's a good reason to keep a long, static list in a manual page *if* that list keeps creating maintenance headaches and keeps getting outdated. If information is naturally available from a command line program but painful to maintain in manual pages, then i don't think it is reasonable to expect it to be available from https://man.openbsd.org/, and i think it is good enough if the manual page explains how to get the information at the command line. Besides, choose from: for name in $(ifconfig -C); do firefox https://man.openbsd.org/$name.4; done and MANPAGER=firefox man -T html $(ifconfig -C) All that said, don't forget the web equivalent of semantic apropos(1): https://man.openbsd.org/?query=Cd~pseudo-device&apropos=1 I admit that the URI syntax of web apropos is exceedingly ugly for historical reasons. I really ought to implement something like https://man.openbsd.org/apropos/Cd~pseudo-device https://man.openbsd.org/a/Cd~pseudo-device https://apropos.openbsd.org/Cd~pseudo-device Another day, another task... Too many pending tasks already... Yours, Ingo
