Description: ------------ I would like to get a new pear-function. I do not have the time toimplement it my self, but I think it would be realy neat to have so I'm going to propose the idea. I would like to have a pear shell command that displays parts of thepear-manual, much in the same fasion as perldoc but on the screen. That would make life a lot easier as I wouldn't have to browse webpages oranything to find the documentation I need. Also, it would make it simpler to use my favorite IDE - Bash ;) Maybe this is as much a phpdocumentor feature - but I think it realyshould be in pear.

I have begin to work on a new command in pear wich list doc (res)sources like this T:\php>pear doc xml_util DB Date XML_UTIL manual : http://pear.php.net/package/xml_util/docs/ api : http://pear.php.net/package/xml_util/docs/latest/ packagedoc : T:\php\pear\docs\XML_Util\ DB manual : http://pear.php.net/package/DB/docs/ api : http://pear.php.net/package/DB/docs/latest/ packagedoc : T:\php\pear\docs\DB\doc\IDEAS DATE manual : http://pear.php.net/package/Date/docs/ api : http://pear.php.net/package/Date/docs/latest/ packagedoc : T:\php\pear\docs\Date\ I was just to prepare a pepr to request feedback Actually that only "list" reference but I search easy solution to display or download or generate it localy

pear command list is already 50 lines long and is hardly fits the screen. it is better to have pear info -api <package> pear info -doc <package>
