There is on-line documentation for most
UNIX commands and programs. These are called manual pages
or man pages. For example, to find out about the ls
command type:
man ls
The man pages will be displayed using the program more
described below.
Man pages contain lots of information. They tend to be rather
technical. If you want a less technical introduction there
are numerous introductory books on UNIX available at bookstores and libraries.
