NAME

App::Zealc::Command::query - view the documentation for a term

SYNOPSIS

  zealc query perldoc
  # displays documentation for perldoc

  zealc query --w3m perl:%Spec
  # finds File::Spec and perlpodspec

DESCRIPTION

The query command displays the documentation for a given term. The term is a SQL LIKE pattern. If no documents are found, the search is retried after appending a % to the term. If multiple documents are found, the user will be prompted to choose one of them.

A SQL LIKE pattern is similar to a shell glob. The "%" character matches zero or more characters (like "*" in a shell glob or ".*" in a regex) and "_" matches exactly one character (like "?" in a shell glob or "." in a regex). Matching is case-insensitive.
