Minix 1.5 man pages on minix1.hampshire.edu
|
|
|
|
I have posted my Minix 1.5 man pages in the anonymous ftp area of
|
|
minix1.hampshire.edu. I hope they will be of use to people using
|
|
Minix 1.5 on MacIntosh or Atari systems.
|
|
|
|
These are flat ASCII files, one file per man section, intended to be
|
|
read by the Minix 1.5 man command. This is not a standard man command
|
|
as found on other Unix versions, in fact, its name was originally help,
|
|
and its action is similar to the MS-DOS HELP command. With no argument
|
|
the command gives you a menu of available documents. See the README
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
The sections of the Minix 1.5 manual are:
|
|
|
|
Section 1: User commands
|
|
Section 2: System calls
|
|
Section 3: C library
|
|
Section 4: File formats
|
|
Section 5: Miscellaneous
|
|
Section 6: Games
|
|
Section 7: Special files (devices)
|
|
Section 8: Maintenance procedures
|
|
|
|
The entries in section 1 are derived from a set of man pages that Andy
|
|
Tanenbaum sent me in 1993, and some of the entries correspond to
|
|
enhancements added in the version 1.6 release, but the majority are
|
|
identical to the Minix 1.5 man pages in the printed Minix 1.5 Reference
|
|
Manual. Andy has given his permission to post this material.
|
|
|
|
The entries in the other sections come from a variety of sources. Some
|
|
are Andy's pages moved to another section. Many entries were provided
|
|
by other contributors to enhanced Minix 1.5 as it was installed on
|
|
minix1.hampshire.edu, and pages for the boot monitor (by Kees Bot) and
|
|
the Tnet network package (by Michael Temari) are included. So be
|
|
warned, if you download these pages for use on your MacIntosh or Atari
|
|
running Minix 1.5 there are some entries here that don't correspond to
|
|
anything in your system. Many entries were written by me (asw) for my
|
|
own use or for my students, and some of these are very sketchy. In
|
|
some cases the formatting into plain ASCII is incomplete, and a few
|
|
entries originally written in Spanish may not have been translated into
|
|
English.
