About This Guide
Online Reference (Manual) Pages
The Origin200 server comes with a set of IRIX reference (manual) pages, formatted in the
standard UNIX “man page” style. These are found online on the main system disk, and
are displayed using the
man command. For example, to display the reference 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 in reference
pages. Citations in the documentation to these reference 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.
For additional information about displaying reference pages using the man command,
see man(1).
In addition, the apropos command locates reference pages based on keywords. For
example, to display a list of reference pages that describe disks, enter the following
command at a shell prompt:
apropos disk
For information about setting up and using apropos , see apropos(1) and makewhatis(1M).
