:
Looking for a way to CREATE A PAGE OF LINKS to all the
*/index.html that already exist in your /usr/share/doc tree?
#!/bin/sh
# as /usr/doc contains lots of symlinks to /usr/share/doc, adding
# -follow to find args may be useful.
{ echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"'
echo '"http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/strict.dtd";>';
echo '<html><head><title>Documentation Links</title></head><body>';
find /usr/doc -name index.html \
-printf '<href="file:%p">%P</a><br>\n';
echo '</body></html>';
} > links.html
