- Unix boxes which have sufficient disk storage (Hi, Doug!) keep
- the manual on disk. Unix traditionally has what are called "the
- man-pages". Most programs have a one-page manual entry, although
- in later years, some programs have come with fifty-page entries.
- To get a manual page for a particular program, use
- $ man programname
-
- See also "apropos".
-
- You can get the manual page from within help by typing
- !subject when help asks for a topic (well, dummy, you
- don't actually type "subject"; you replace it with what
- you want the man page for ... hmmmph!).
