man pages
 

I'm looking for the man pages in linux. I installed pico and want to get the man page for it were the other are, or at least beable to access it. what can I do?

Thank you

The manual pages are usually kept in /usr/share/man . You can get that with the command man --path . Man even has a man page. :) I don't remember off-hand what the different groupings are for the different directories. I think, by default, it searches through the man# directories and displays the first one it finds.

Also if you install a program as a regular user, it will sometimes place the man page in /usr/local/man since users don't have write access usually to /usr/share/man

man pico might be part of man pine since pico is part of the pine package :)

Cool

I use nano, the pico work-alike editor instead. It is GNU software unlike pine.

This site has a man pages link at the very bottom of the page, btw.

man pages should be already installed. go to bash: $ man
