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