2 Linux man-pages - manual pages for GNU/Linux
5 This package contains GNU/Linux manual pages for sections 1 through 8.
8 The manual pages in this project document primarily the Linux kernel
9 and the GNU C library, but also consider relevant differences in other
10 kernels or C libraries.

14 that are not documented in other packages, and there are a few pages in
15 sections 5 and 8 for the timezone utilities.
