how to display the man page for a command
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2023 8:30 pm
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.
