2 | Linux man-pages - manual pages for GNU/Linux | |
3 | ||
4 | Synopsis | |
5 | This package contains GNU/Linux manual pages for sections 1 | |
6 | through 8. | |
7 | ||
8 | Description | |
9 | The manual pages in this project document primarily the Linux | |
10 | kernel and the GNU C library, but also consider relevant | |
11 | differences in other kernels or C libraries. | |
12 | ||
13 | These pages are most of the section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 man pages for | |
14 | GNU/Linux. A few pages are provided in sections 1 and 8 for | |
15 | commands that are not documented in other packages, and there are | |
16 | a few pages in sections 5 and 8 for the timezone utilities. | |
