- The Linux Documentation Project proudly announces. . .
-
- man-pages-1.8.tar.gz - section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 man pages for Linux
-
-
- Differences from version 1.7:
-
- The following man pages are new or have been updated:
-
- cacheflush.2 listen.2 setfsgid.2 setfsuid.2 sigblock.2
- siggetmask.2 sigmask.2 sigsetmask.2 sysfs.2 undocumented.2
- unimplemented.2 ustat.2
-
- exp.3 re_comp.3 re_exec.3 regcomp.3 regerror.3 regexec.3
- regfree.3
-
- fstab.5 lilo.conf.5
-
- bootparam.7
-
- lilo.8
-
- kmalloc.9 memcpy_tofs.9 request_irq.9 vremap.9
-
- (Yes, lilo.8 doesn't really belong here, but I think it is useful.
- It will be removed again as soon as lilo comes with a manpage.)
-
- Here is a breakdown of what this distribution contains:
-
- Section 1 = user commands (intro only)
- Section 2 = system calls
- Section 3 = libc calls
- Section 4 = devices (e.g., hd, sd)
- Section 5 = file formats (e.g., wtmp, /etc/passwd)
- Section 6 = games (intro only)
- Section 7 = conventions, macro packages, etc. (e.g., nroff, ascii)
- Section 8 = system administration (intro only)
- Section 9 = internal kernel routines (for kernel hackers?)
-
- (Usually, there are no section 1, 6 and 8 man pages because these
- should be distributed with the binaries they are written for.)
-
- Note that only Section 2 is really complete, but Section 3 contains
- several hundred man pages. If you want to write some man pages,
- please join the linux-doc mailing list on the vger.rutgers.edu server.
-
-
- To install this distribution, do something like:
-
- cd /usr/man; zcat man-pages-1.8.tar.gz | tar xvpf -
