manrfc

manrfc is a simple CLI interface to the RFC Editor website and allows to easily search and view inside the terminal all the RFCs using minus as internal pager.

Features

• Search an RFC by its title or the abstract
• Limit the number of results returned (default is 10)
• View the RFC inside the terminal using the minus pager

Requirements

manrfc internally uses reqwest to makes HTTP requests, for this reason it is necessary to install the following dependencies based on the OS used.

On Linux:

• OpenSSL 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.1.0, or 1.1.1 with headers (see https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl)

On Windows and macOS:

• Nothing.

On Debian based distros, OpenSSL could be installed with the following command:

sudo apt install libssl-dev

Compile from source

In order to compile manrfc from scratch, type the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/cdzeno/manrfc.git
cd manrfc
cargo build --release

and install it with:

cargo install --path .
