About Man Page
Hi,
Can anyone tell that what's the brackets after a command e.g. ldconfig(8) for? Thanks |
It tells you which section of the manual it's in. Look at the man page for man to see details of the sections..

Funny how many people don't realise, but probably one of the first things you should do if new to linux is run man man.
If you look at the bottom of this you will see references like: Code:
manpath(1), manpath(5) Code:
man 1 manpath |
Hi,
That would require the user to know the 'man command'. Loads of newbies don't want to dig that deep. Spoon feeding! :hattip: |
Yeah your probably right ... oh wait is't that what windblows is for ... larf

Oh.. There's man man...
Thank you very much! |
