A command-line tool that provides C++ 98/11/14/17/20 manual pages on Linux and macOS, sourced from cplusplus.com and cppreference.com. It mimics the Unix man interface with syntax highlighting, cached pages, and vim-pager hyperlinks between pages.

Use cases

• look up C++ standard library documentation from the terminal
• read cppreference man pages offline
• browse C++ API docs like Unix man pages
• jump between related C++ man pages with hyperlinks
• cache full C++ documentation locally for offline use
• integrate C++ docs into system man command

When to choose

• you want fast, offline C++ reference access in the terminal
• you prefer a man-style workflow with vim pager and hyperlinks
• you use Linux or macOS and want packaged installation via pip, apt, brew, or AUR

When to avoid

• you need a GUI or browser-based documentation experience
• you need documentation for languages other than C++
• you require always-up-to-date docs without caching
