About This Guide
SGI systems include a set of IRIX man pages, formatted in the standard UNIX “man
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, type the following on a command line:
man Add_disk
Important system configuration files and 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.
For additional information about displaying reference pages using the
man
command,
see
man(1)
.
In addition, the
apropos
command locates man pages based on keywords. For example,
to display a list of man pages that describe disks, type the following on a command line:
apropos disk
For information about setting up and using
apropos
, see
apropos(1)
and
