Linux 


 Man pages 
Linux documentation can be found in man pages, info files, HOWTOs
and FAQs, and elsewhere. (For example, also the kernel Documentation
directory contains a lot of good stuff.)
A nice index for the man pages in RedHat 6.2 is found at the
superman
site.

Man pages belonging to programs are usually distributed together
with those programs. Therefore, the Linux man-pages distribution
mainly contains the pages for system calls and library routines,
special devices, and file formats. However, it also contains documentation
for a number of programs, in cases where the authors or maintainers of
the program do not distribute man pages themselves.

The Linux man pages are maintained by
aeb@cwi.nl.
Corrections and additions are welcome.
The page undocumented (3)contains a list of routines present
in glibc for which no man page is available yet.

 Progress 
The pages  ... 
are present in the current repository, but are not yet in man-pages-1.53.
A html version of man-pages-1.47 can be seen at
www.cwi.nl.

 Pointer
