For something that should work today, I might mention that if you stage-packages man so that you have it in your snap, 'petname -h' could invoke '$SNAP/path/to/man $SNAP/path/to/page'. You could also dump the man page output and save that in your snap and have 'petname -h' 'less /snap/path/to/dumped/page'. I've used this command for that sort of thing: $ PAGER=cat LANG='en_US.UTF-8' MANWIDTH=80 man --warnings \ -E UTF-8 -l ./path/to/page > ./path/to/dumped/page -- Jamie Strandboge | http://www.canonical.com
