RELEASE
After more than nine years and 64 releases,
the old Linux man page maintainer announces a last release. . .
man-pages-1.70.tar.gz - man pages for Linux
NEW MAINTAINER
Michael Kerrisk has accepted to take over maintenance. (Thanks!)
Send comments and patches to
mtk-manpages@gmx.net
POSIX
This release contains a copy of the POSIX 1003.1-2003 man pages.
The directories man0p, man1p, man3p contain descriptions of the
headers, the utilities, and the functions documented in that standard.
For the copyright notice, see the file POSIX-COPYRIGHT.
In order to use this, put in {/usr/share/misc/}man.conf{ig} or so
your favourite order of looking at these pages, for example,
MANSECT 1p:1:8:0p:3p:2:3:4:5:6:7:9:tcl:n:l:p:o
or set the MANSECT environment variable.
OTHER PAGES
The remaining pages are most of the section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 man pages
for Linux, and in addition section 1 man pages for the fileutils-4.0
utilities, and section 5 and 8 man pages for the timezone utilities.
[The latter were taken from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2001a.tar.gz.]
[The section 3 man pages for the db routines have been taken from
ftp://ftp.terra.net/pub/sleepycat/db.1.86.tar.gz.]
[The rpc man pages were taken from the 4.4BSD-Lite CDROM.]

are new or have been updated. Typographical or grammatical errors
have been corrected in several other places.
Here is a breakdown of what this distribution contains:
Section 0p = POSIX headers
Section 1p = POSIX utilities
Section 3p = POSIX functions
Section 1 = user commands (intro, and pages not maintained by FSF)
Section 2 = system calls
Section 3 = libc calls
Section 4 = devices (e.g., hd, sd)
Section 5 = file formats and protocols (e.g., wtmp, /etc/passwd, nfs)
Section 6 = games (intro only)
Section 7 = conventions, macro packages, etc.
Section 8 = system administration (intro only)
Usually, there are no section 1, 6 and 8 man pages because these
should be distributed with the binaries they are written for.
Sometimes Section 9 is used for man pages describing parts of the kernel.
Note that only Section 2 is rather complete, but Section 3 contains
several hundred man pages. If you want to write some man pages,
please do so and mail them to mtk-manpages@gmx.net.
Copyright information:
For the POSIX pages permission to distribute was given by IEEE
and the Open Group, see POSIX-COPYRIGHT.
For the remaining pages, please note that these man pages are
distributed under a variety of copyright licenses. Although these
licenses permit free distribution of the nroff sources contained in
this package, commercial distribution may impose other requirements
(e.g., acknowledgement of copyright or inclusion of the raw nroff
sources with the commercial distribution).
If you distribute these man pages commercially, it is your
responsibility to figure out your obligations. (For many man pages,
these obligations require you to distribute nroff sources with any
pre-formatted man pages that you provide.) Each file that contains
nroff source for a man page also contains the author(s) name, email
address, and copyright notice.
