Ah, I wondered how to distinguish between the different man pages. I
see the different ones listed at the footer of other man pages, but the
difference didn't make sense to me.
I should know how to do the "apropos" command for man pages. I'm
studying for the LPIC linux
exam. Not used to the Linux/UNIX commands yet. Tnx for the help!
What are the different man sections for?
