Tru64 UNIX Reference Pages

The Tru64 UNIX operating system provides an extensive set of reference pages (also called man pages or manual pages), each of which describes one topic, such as a command, function, or file. This chapter discusses the reference pages.

6.1 Reading Reference Pages On Line

You can use the webman utility to read the reference pages on line using your Web browser and print them by clicking on the browser’s Print menu. Alternatively, you can use the xman or man utilities from the command line to read the reference pages.

Your system administrator determines at system installation time whether to make the operating system reference pages available on your system. If you receive an error message when you try to access reference pages, the problem might be that they are not installed.

Your system administrator also decides whether to install the reference pages that are included with layered products. This includes products such as the TruCluster Server, which provides a full set of its own reference pages.

6.1.1 Using the Documentation CD–ROM

The Library on the Documentation CD–ROM includes a category that contains the full set of base operating system reference pages in HTML form. You can view these reference pages with your Web browser just as you would view any of the HTML books. These references pages are indexed and hot-linked with the books for easy access. (The reference pages for layered products are not included on this CD–ROM.)

6.1.2 Using webman

The Documentation CD–ROM contains the webman viewer, a UNIX CGI program you can use with your browser to view the reference pages that are installed with the operating system. The webman viewer is most useful when the Documentation CD–ROM is not mounted, or when you need to access reference pages that have been installed with layered products. For
