What do you people do for reading Erlang docs?
Is there something like Ruby’s ri
?
I installed manual pages for Erlang under /usr/local/share/man
and it works, but entering man erlang
shows all the Built-In Functions as one long page and when I press tab after typing man erlang
, it asks me if I want to list 22003
items. I don’t think it’s super useful. How do I filter things I need among these many items?
Compare it for example with git’s manual pages. When I press tab after typing man git
, it asks me if I want to list 172
items, and when I say yes (press tab again), it shows all the useful things.
How do I use Erlang’s manual pages usefully like that?
