In my version of grep (2.5.1), -R and -r are the same. I use -R
because a lot of other tools, like ls, only support -R. ls -r means
'reverse'.

Another annoyance is that most tools do not accept --help. This is
common with GNU tools, and I prefer it over -h, because some tools
might use -h for a real thing. In case  -h means "remove all files",
then you're screwed...

Either the man command or the manpages aren't installed on your box:

 pkgadd -d /cdrom/Solaris_11/Product SUNWdoc  SUNWman
 catman -w


pkginfo SUNWman does show:
system      SUNWman On-Line Manual Pages

doesn't this mean it is installed?
