This package contains Linux man pages for sections
|
|
2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Some more information is given in the
|
|
`Announce' file.
|
|
|
|
Install by copying to your favourite location.
|
|
"make install" will just copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].
|
|
"make" will move the pages from this package that are older than
|
|
the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed',
|
|
then remove old versions (compressed or not),
|
|
compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you may have to remove preformatted pages.
|
|
|
|
Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages
|
|
also distributed in other packages. This has been reported
|
|
about dlclose.3, dlerror.3, dlopen.3, dlsym.3 (found in ld.so),
|
|
about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils),
|
|
and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to
|
|
overwrite more up-to-date versions.
|
|
Reports on further duplicates are welcome.
|
|
Formerly present and now removed duplicates:
|
|
exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*),
|
|
fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*),
|
|
lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*).
|
