Hi.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Good question. I think that the man page idea goes back to when unix was on
|
|
<BR>
|
|
teletypes and was written for experts by experts. Command line stuff works
|
|
<BR>
|
|
well in this format but many of the current Linux stuff doesn't. If you do
|
|
<BR>
|
|
find out that there is a document somewhere on how to write a man page, then
|
|
<BR>
|
|
could it include a section for Linux beginners too? Or at least examples? And
|
|
<BR>
|
|
not too many 'see also's'? I found that the very worse people to ask for help
|
|
<BR>
|
|
are those with root access as they seem incapable of expressing themselves in
|
|
<BR>
|
|
anything other than --./configure makefile [-- switch] -x_file language.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
