- The Linux man page maintainer proudly announces. . .
-
- man-pages-1.64.tar.gz - section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 man pages for Linux
-
- and in addition section 1 man pages for the fileutils-4.0 utilities,
- and section 5 and 8 man pages for the timezone utilities.
-
- [The latter were taken from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2001a.tar.gz.]
- [The section 3 man pages for the db routines have been taken from
- ftp://ftp.terra.net/pub/sleepycat/db.1.86.tar.gz.]
- [The rpc man pages were taken from the 4.4BSD-Lite CDROM.]

- have been corrected in several other places.
-
- Here is a breakdown of what this distribution contains:
-
- Section 1 = user commands (intro, and pages not maintained by FSF)
- Section 2 = system calls
- Section 3 = libc calls
- Section 4 = devices (e.g., hd, sd)
- Section 5 = file formats and protocols (e.g., wtmp, /etc/passwd, nfs)
- Section 6 = games (intro only)
- Section 7 = conventions, macro packages, etc.
- Section 8 = system administration (intro only)
-
- Usually, there are no section 1, 6 and 8 man pages because these
- should be distributed with the binaries they are written for.
- Sometimes Section 9 is used for man pages describing parts of the kernel.
-
- Note that only Section 2 is rather complete, but Section 3 contains
- several hundred man pages. If you want to write some man pages,
- please do so and mail them to aeb@cwi.nl.
