| Name: man | Distribution: Red Hat Linux |
| Version: 1.5i2 | Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. |
| Release: 0.7x.5 | Build date: Fri Aug 24 19:00:56 2001 |
| Group: System Environment/Base | Build host: stripples.devel.redhat.com |
| Size: 380114 | Source RPM: man-1.5i2-0.7x.5.src.rpm |
| Packager: Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> | |
| Summary: A set of documentation tools: man, apropos and whatis. | |
The man package includes three tools for finding information and/or documentation about your Linux system: man, apropos, and whatis. The man system formats and displays on-line manual pages about commands or functions on your system. Apropos searches the whatis database (containing short descriptions of system commands) for a string. Whatis searches its own database for a complete word. The man package should be installed on your system because it is the primary way to find documentation on a Linux system.
