  1. What about documentation? on Linux Programmer's Toolbox · · Score: 1

    What is a decent way to read API documentation under Linux? I'm comfortable using vim, and will happily edit Makefiles, but haven't found anything similar to the MSDN documentation.

    Using 'man' and 'info' has been fine for finding out usage of command line programs, but (for example) I've been using GnoChm to read the Windows python documentation, because of the index, table of contents, and search facility features.

    The ubuntu help (which includes the python docs) is no good for me; it's too slow to search, doesn't have a table of contents, and can't be restricted to just python (or C libraries, or ...).

    What do you use for reading API documentation?
