NAME

man − run off section of UNIX manual

SYNOPSIS

man [ section ] [ title ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Man is a shell command file which locates and prints one or more sections of this manual.  Section is the section number of the manual, as an Arabic not Roman numeral, and is optional.  Title is one or more section names; these names bear a generally simple relation to the page captions in the manual.  If the section is missing, 1 is assumed.  For example, "man man" would reproduce this page.

FILES

/usr/man/man?/*

BUGS

The manual is supposed to be reproducible either on the phototypesetter or on a typewriter.  However, on a typewriter some information is necessarily lost.
