Robert:

As I am reading the replies back to the forum, now I come on your 2nd email

Thank you for this post.

I am going try to implement your script at the root level and see what comes up

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.

A few years ago, I took my Linux OS which is openSuse Leap v15.3 or so
and ran a check on the documentation such as the man1 through man9 pages
(run the %man man command to pull all this up) versus the actual
executables on the system.

I was surprised to find < 15% of the command executables were
documented. Naturally I was hoping for something like 50% to 75%.

Can you provide data to back up that assertion?  For example, a script.
