I ask because I get very different results.
<<< ${PATH} tr : '\n' |
while read folder ; do
echo == ${folder}
find ${folder}/ -type f -executable |
rev |
cut -d / -f1 |
rev |
xargs -t -n1 man -w 2>&1 |
cat -n
done |
tee /tmp/file.list.man.txt
$ wc -l /tmp/file.list.man.txt
2863 /tmp/file.list.man.txt
$ grep -c 'No manual' /tmp/file.list.man.txt
114
$ echo $(( 114*1000/( 2863 / 2 ) ))
79
Using the above method, fewer than 8% do NOT have manual pages, i.e. 92% do
have man pages, which exceeds your original estimate of 50-75%. If nothing
else, it's a much smaller problem space for your AI project.
