All the MINIX manual pages are in this directory. They are also
|
||
installed under MINIX as part of the standard installation so they are
|
||
available under MINIX. The man pages are divided into nine parts, as in UNIX.
|
||
|
||
This directory provides the manuals in four different formats, to make it
|
||
convenient for both people with and without PostScript printers.
|
||
|
||
CATx - Flat ASCII text
|
||
ALLPS - PostScript version, one file per part
|
||
PSx - PostScript version, one file per manual page
|
||
MANx - Troff source for producing the man pages (using macros.9)
|
||
|
||
If you do not have a PostScript printer, just use the CATx/* files. If you
|
||
do have a PostScript printer, print all the files in ALLPS and those in PS9.
|
||
Both the ASCII and PostScript versions have exactly the same content, only
|
||
the PostScript versions use multiple fonts, etc. to improve readability.
|
||
|
||
The files in PS1 through PS8 have the same content as ALLMAN1.PS through
|
||
ALLMAN8.PS, only they are arranged as one manual page per file. This format
|
||
is provided to make it easier to print only selected manual pages, as the
|
||
full printout of ALLMANx.PS is quite large (540 pages). If you print the
|
||
ALLMANx.PS files, you will not need the files in PSx.
|
||
|
||
The (troff) sources for the manual pages are provided to allow people to
|
||
modify or reformat them in custom ways.
