Obtaining Publications
You can obtain SGI documentation as follows:
•See the SGI Technical Publications Library at http://docs.sgi.com. Various formats are available. This library contains the most recent and most comprehensive set of online books, release notes, man pages, and other information.
•If it is installed on your SGI system, you can use InfoSearch, an online tool that provides a more limited set of online books, release notes, and man pages. With an IRIX system, enter infosearch at a command line or select Help > InfoSearch from the Toolchest.
•On IRIX systems, you can view release notes by entering either grelnotes or relnotes at a command line.
•On Linux systems, you can view release notes on your system by accessing the README.txt file for the product. This is usually located in the /usr/share/doc/productname directory, although file locations may vary.
•You can view man pages by typing man title at a command line.
