+man-db (database-driven manual pager suite)
+
+This package provides the man command and related utilities for examining
+on-line help files (manual pages). It can act as a replacement for
+Slackware's man package. It has several enhancements over man, including
+an indexed database, the ability to easily view man pages in a browser,
+and better i18n support.
+
+This build includes a complete install of libpipeline.
+
+By default, man-db doesn't conflict with Slackware's man package. See
+README.Slackware for details.
