how to display the man page for a command

[bigpup]

Try using in a terminal man followed by the command.

Example command tar and tr:

Code: Select all

man tar

Code: Select all

man tr

Using man with the command you want to see the man page for.
Will either give you the man page or a search result for where it is on the internet.

Most Puppy versions have a small script file named pman that is actually being used.
This is how it is used.
Usually there is a symbolic link file named man that links to pman.
So command man actually runs pman.
Either man or pman could be used in the above example.
