Hi
Anyway, you say you are working on a command line interface - OK, but I think the current situation is just a bit embarrassing, and I have something that works now. I can access all Perl documentation with 'man', and that is very convenient. It is just two words, e.g.:
Fair enough, you are certainly welcome to "compete" with Hoogle :) It might even persuade me to get the Hoogle thing done faster (although I did go and release a command line version today)
- be usable from the command line, and with tab completion (i.e. users shouldn't have to enter an interactive loop like ghci)
I think it should do both.
- be able to show the haddock documentation for a given function (the most common usage) in one step (i.e. not 2 steps as with the hoogle web interface).
Hoogle 4 does this to some degree. I can certainly add a flag that makes it more encouraged to show some documentation even when there are multiple matches. Thanks Neil
