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, and in addition section 1 man pages for the fileutils-4.0
|
|
utilities, and section 5 and 8 man pages for the timezone utilities.
|
|
|
|
[The latter 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, and pages not maintained by FSF)
|
|
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 only)
|
|
|
|
Usually, there are no 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@gmx.net.

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.
