Online Man Pages

page” style. These are found online on the internal system disk (or CD-ROM) and are
displayed using the
man command. For example, to display the man page for the
Add_disk command, enter the following command at a shell prompt:
man Add_disk
Important system configuration files as well as commands are documented on man
pages. References in the documentation to these pages include the name of the command
and the section number in which the command is found. For example, “Add_disk(1)”
refers to the
Add_disk command and indicates that it is found in section 1 of the IRIX
reference.
