-RELEASE
-The Linux man page maintainer proudly announces. . .
-
- man-pages-6.01.tar.gz - man pages for Linux
-
-Differences from the previous manual pages release are listed in
-the file "Changes".
-
-For further information, visit http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/
-
-THE PAGES
-These pages are most of the section 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 man pages
-for 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.
-
-[The timezone pages 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.]
-
-Here is a breakdown of what this distribution contains:
-
- Section 1 = user commands (intro, plus a few other pages)
- Section 2 = system calls
- Subsection 2type = types provided by the kernel
- Section 3 = library calls
- Subsection 3const = library constants
- Subsection 3head = library header files
- Subsection 3type = library types
- Section 4 = devices (e.g., hd, sd)
- Section 5 = file formats and configuration files (e.g., wtmp, /etc/passwd)
- Section 6 = games (intro only)
- Section 7 = overviews, conventions, macro packages, etc.
- Section 8 = system administration (intro, plus a few other pages)
-
- This package contains no, or very few, 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,
- or suggest improvements to existing pages, please visit
- http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ .

-Copyright information:
-
- 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.
