It is more likely that the information you want is not even in the man page, gnu man pages are severely crippled, and if you want the real documentation you have to travel to info hell which is likely to contain ten times as much (mis)information and be ten times harder to browse. And there you have the greatest innovation GNU has ever brought to unix, in gnu systems I rarely even bother checking the docs, because even random trial and error usually takes much less effort than navigating the fetid info swamp. uriel
