The numeric argument is the section of the manual to look in. Some versions of man (Solaris and other SysVish) require "man -s 5". By default, man will stop at the first match it finds, -a means display all matches. Section 1 is always the "normal user" commands, but the contents of some of the sections vary a bit among different systems, e.g., BSD puts sysadmin commands in Section 8, but SysV (I think) throws them into Section 1. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
