Linux web man pages online
This homepage is for both for new and advanced Linux users. If you need a reference for Linux man pages on the web, then you've come to the right place.
Usually when you are new to Linux, you happen to have friends or strangers say RTFM (Read The Fucking Manual) when they think you ask too many questions or are just lazy and can't bear to answer. Man is the Linux/Unix system's manual pager. Each page argument given to man is normally the name of a program, utility or function. Man pages are mainly stored in the /usr/share/man directory.
As you may have noted, the man pages are divided into sections. However, most man pages do not have all of these sections. In general, a man page will have only those sections that are appropriate to the command - most man pages have only one or two sections. You can see what sections are available in the section list below. Note: When you enter a section, you can search all manuals that belong to that section.
Sections
If you instead want to search most used Linux manuals in section 1*, you can do this here. It can sometimes be easier to find what you are looking for if you go to the right section above, but this is a faster way to search manual pages from all sections that start with 1. Note: You can also search the description and dont forget to use the paging function on the site.
