Almost every UNIX system, Linux included, provides a facility known
as ``manual pages'', or ``man pages'' for short. These man pages
contain online documentation for all of the various system commands,
resources, configuration files, and so on.
<P>
<A NAME=2365>&#160;</A>
The command used to access man pages is <tt>man</tt>. For example, if
you're interested in finding out about the other options of the
<tt>ls</tt> command, you can type
<P><TT> /home/larry# <em>man ls</em>
<P></TT>
and the man page for <tt>ls</tt> will be displayed.
<P>
Unfortunately, most of the man pages out there are written for those
who already have some idea of what the command or resource does. For
this reason, man pages usually only contain the hardcore technical
details of the command, without a lot of tutorial. However, man pages
can be an invaluable resource for jogging your memory if you forget
the syntax of a command. Man pages will also tell you a lot about
the commands which we won't tell you in this book.
<P>
I suggest that you try <tt>man</tt> for the commands we've already gone
over, and whenever I introduce a new command. You'll notice some of
these commands won't have man pages. This could be for several reasons.
For one, the man pages haven't been written yet (the Linux Documentation
Project is responsible for man pages under Linux as well. We are gradually
accumulating most of the man pages available for the system). Secondly, the
the command might be an internal shell command, or an alias (as discussed in
Section <A HREF="node99.html#secshellscmds">3.2.4</A>),
in which case it would not have a man page of its own. One example is
<tt>cd</tt>, which is a shell internal command. The shell actually processes
the <tt>cd</tt>---there is no separate program which contains this command.
