| Name |
| Linux man-pages - manual pages for GNU/Linux |
| |
| Synopsis |
| This package contains GNU/Linux manual pages for sections 1 |
| through 8. |
| |
| Description |
| The manual pages in this project document primarily the Linux |
| kernel and the GNU C library, but also consider relevant |
| differences in other kernels or C libraries. |
| |
| These pages are most of the section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 man pages for |
| GNU/Linux. A few pages are provided in sections 1 and 8 for |
| commands that are not documented in other packages, and there are |
| a few pages in sections 5 and 8 for the timezone utilities. |
