In his wisdom RMS decided that people need no man pages
|
||
|
when they can use GNU's beautiful info system.
|
||
|
Unfortunately, everybody I know greatly prefers man pages.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Since GNU actively non-maintains man pages, and inserts
|
||
|
text to the effect that you should not be reading them
|
||
|
in each man page that they already have, it seems that
|
||
|
outside maintenance of man pages for the GNU utilities
|
||
|
is required.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The fileutils-3.16 man pages found here have been derived
|
||
|
from those in fileutils-3.16-man-0.4.tar.gz
|
||
|
(as produced by Ragnar Hojland Espinosa and A. Wik, and
|
||
|
found on ftp://mail1.bet1.puv.fi/incoming/)
|
||
|
by adding information on what POSIX says about these
|
||
|
utilities. This is very useful if you have to write
|
||
|
scripts that should be portable.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There is also a time.1 man page here, inspired by
|
||
|
kromJx@crosswinds.net.
