Name
Linux man-pages - manual pages for GNU/Linux
Synopsis
This package contains GNU/Linux manual pages for sections 1 through 8.
Description
The manual pages in this project document primarily the Linux kernel
and the GNU C library, but also consider relevant differences in other
kernels or C libraries.
These pages are most of the section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 man pages for
GNU/Linux. A few pages are provided in sections 1 and 8 for commands
that are not documented in other packages, and there are a few pages in
sections 5 and 8 for the timezone utilities.
