Bwana2.8.1

Bwana presents Unix man pages directly in a browser window, giving Mac users a readable way to consult command documentation. It improves page layout for easier reading and supports embedded email and HTTP links within the documentation. References to other man pages are also linked, allowing related entries to be reached from the page being read.

Those links work in the background, so users can follow references while keeping the current man page available. Bwana suits developers and other technical users who consult command documentation during programming, administration, or general Mac-based development work. Its browser-oriented presentation is particularly useful when manual pages contain interconnected references and external links.

The current release is Bwana 2.8.1 for macOS 10.6, with support for both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. It is freeware released under the MIT license, which permits modifying the code and using it for practically any purpose. Bwana is categorized as Developer Tools and combines browser-based man-page access with linked navigation and improved page presentation.
