POSIX
|
||||||
|
This release contains a copy of the POSIX 1003.1-2003 man pages.
|
||||||
|
The directories man0p, man1p, man3p contain descriptions of the
|
||||||
|
headers, the utilities, and the functions documented in that standard.
|
||||||
|
For the copyright notice, see the file POSIX-COPYRIGHT.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In order to use this, put in {/usr/share/misc/}man.conf{ig} or so
|
||||||
|
your favourite order of looking at these pages, for example,
|
||||||
|
MANSECT 1p:1:8:0p:3p:2:3:4:5:6:7:9:tcl:n:l:p:o
|
||||||
|
or set the MANSECT environment variable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OTHER PAGES
|
||||||
|
The remaining pages are most of the section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 man pages
|
||||||
|
for Linux. A few pages are provided in sections 1 and 8 for commands
|
||||||
|
that are not documented in other packages, and there are a few pages
|
||||||
|
in sections 5 and 8 for the timezone utilities.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[The timezone pages were taken from
|
||||||
|
ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2001a.tar.gz.]
|
||||||
|
[The section 3 man pages for the db routines have been taken from
|
||||||
|
ftp://ftp.terra.net/pub/sleepycat/db.1.86.tar.gz.]
|
||||||
|
[The rpc man pages were taken from the 4.4BSD-Lite CDROM.]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here is a breakdown of what this distribution contains:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Section 0p = POSIX headers
|
||||||
|
Section 1p = POSIX utilities
|
||||||
|
Section 3p = POSIX functions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Section 1 = user commands (intro, plus a few other pages)
|
||||||
|
Section 2 = system calls
|
||||||
|
Section 3 = libc calls
|
||||||
|
Section 4 = devices (e.g., hd, sd)
|
||||||
|
Section 5 = file formats and protocols (e.g., wtmp, /etc/passwd, nfs)
|
||||||
|
Section 6 = games (intro only)
|
||||||
|
Section 7 = conventions, macro packages, etc.
|
||||||
|
Section 8 = system administration (intro, plus a few other pages)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This package contains no, or very few, section 1, 6, and 8 man pages
|
||||||
|
because these should be distributed with the binaries they are written
|
||||||
|
for. Sometimes Section 9 is used for man pages describing parts of
|
||||||
|
the kernel.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that only Section 2 is rather complete, but Section 3 contains
|
||||||
|
several hundred man pages. If you want to write some man pages,
|
||||||
|
please do so and mail them to mtk.manpages@gmail.com.
|
||||||

Copyright information:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For the POSIX pages permission to distribute was given by IEEE
|
||||||
|
and the Open Group, see POSIX-COPYRIGHT.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For the remaining pages, please note that these man pages are
|
||||||
|
distributed under a variety of copyright licenses. Although these
|
||||||
|
licenses permit free distribution of the nroff sources contained in
|
||||||
|
this package, commercial distribution may impose other requirements
|
||||||
|
(e.g., acknowledgement of copyright or inclusion of the raw nroff
|
||||||
|
sources with the commercial distribution).
|
||||||
|
If you distribute these man pages commercially, it is your
|
||||||
|
responsibility to figure out your obligations. (For many man pages,
|
||||||
|
these obligations require you to distribute nroff sources with any
|
||||||
|
pre-formatted man pages that you provide.) Each file that contains
|
||||||
|
nroff source for a man page also contains the author(s) name, email
|
||||||
|
address, and copyright notice.
