A mirror of Man pages
Go to file
G. Branden Robinson 836a436804 README: Update generally
* Reflect fact that project ships pages in sections 1-8.

    * Resync documentation of the basic Makefile targets with what they
      actually do at present.  Slighly simplify discussion.

    * Put the man page overlaps into a table.
      + Drop references to overlaps with the old a.out ld.so, long dead.

    * Update reference to Announce file to use current naming convention.
      + Send people looking for copyright information there rather than
        duplicating some of it here.

    * Direct reader to the top-level homepage instead of more deeply to the
      "Contributing" page.

    * Reflow paragraphs to 72 columns.

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8.  Some
more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file.

Installing and uninstalling
===========================
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].

To install to a path different from /usr, use
"make install prefix=/install/path".

"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
install".

Man page overlap and duplication
================================
Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed
in other packages.  This has been reported about:
