| 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. |
