2007-10-23 14:41:52 +00:00
|
|
|
Section 8 of the manual describes commands
|
|
|
|
which either can be or are only used by the superuser,
|
|
|
|
like system-administration commands, daemons,
|
|
|
|
and hardware-related commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As with the commands in described section 1, the commands described
|
|
|
|
in this section terminate with an exit status that indicates
|
|
|
|
whether the command succeeded or failed.
|
|
|
|
See
|
|
|
