FAQ
Q: Can I use the system man command instead of cppman?
A: Yes, just execute cppman -m true and all cached man pages are exposed to the system man command. Note: You may want to download all available man pages with cppman -c.
Q: Why is bash completion is not working properly with ::?
A: It is because bash treats : like a white space. To fix this add export COMP_WORDBREAKS="${COMP_WORDBREAKS//:}" to your ~/.bashrc.
