The Linux Documentation Project proudly announces. . .
man-pages-1.0.tar.gz - section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 man pages for Linux
Here is a breakdown of what this distribution contains:
Section 2 = system calls
Section 3 = libc calls
Section 4 = devices (e.g., hd, sd)
Section 5 = file formats (e.g., /etc/wtmp, /etc/passwd)
Section 7 = macro packages, etc. (e.g., nroff, ascii)
Section 9 = internal kernel routines (for kernel hackers)
Note that only Section 2 is really complete, but Section 3 contains several
hundred man pages. I have included all completed man pages in this
distribution to give people an idea of what is available. If you want to
write some man pages, please join the linux-activists DOC channel.
To install this distribution, do something like:
cd /usr/man; gtar zxvvpf man-pages-1.0.tar.gz
