INSIGHT(1)                                                          INSIGHT(1)


NAME
     insight, iiv - The IRIS InSight Online Documentation Viewer (obsolete)


SYNOPSIS
     insight [ -n [ -l books_location ] ]


DESCRIPTION
     The IRIS InSight Viewer has been replaced by the infosearch(1) method of
     viewing online documentation. The /usr/sbin/insight application simply
     runs the infosearch command if no command line options are specified.
     Otherwise, you can trigger a "non-web-server" mode through the use of the
     insight command line options described below.

DEFINITIONS
     A bookshelf is defined as a directory containing a set of books. By
     default, bookshelves are located in:

       /usr/share/Insight/library/SGI_bookshelves

     To examine a sample bookshelf, look under this default path. Most of the
     directories contained under this area are defined as bookshelves. By
     convention, below each of those bookshelf directories exists a
     subdirectory named "books". The "books" subdirectory contains all
     available online books for this bookshelf.

     For example, examining the path:

       /usr/share/Insight/library/SGI_bookshelves/SGI_EndUser/books/Desktop_UG

     SGI_EndUser is the bookshelf and Desktop_UG is the book.

OPTIONS
     -n   This puts the insight command in a "non-web-server" mode, allowing
          you to browse the existing bookshelves and books you have available
          on your system using your standard web-browser. Be aware that
          searching and many other features that are found in infosearch will
          not be available to you in this mode.

     -l   The -l books_location option can be used in conjunction with the -n
          option. This allows you to designate a specific bookshelf or library
          location to load. By default, the location is:

            /usr/share/Insight/library/SGI_bookshelves.

          You can use this command line option to specify a bookshelf such as:

            /usr/share/Insight/library/SGI_bookshelves/SGI_Developer

          This option is only valid when used with the -n option (otherwise,
          it is ignored).


NOTES
     To browse the available bookshelves and books on the local system, in
     your web browser or in the IRIX Interactive Desktop File Manager, open
     the following file:

       /usr/share/Insight/library/SGI_bookshelves/index.html

     Localized books can be browsed by opening the following file:

       /usr/share/Insight/library/<language>_bookshelves/index.html

     Specifically, here is one such file (available only if localized books
     have been installed):

       /usr/share/Insight/library/fr_bookshelves/index.html
