====== Manual Pages ======

Documentation comes installed with MINIX. Much helpful information is in MINIX's manual pages (or "manpages"), which can be read with //man// or [[http://www.minix3.org/manpages/|online]].

For example, to learn about the Ash shell, type:

<code>
man ash
</code>

Sometimes you'll see manual pages mentioned like this: //shutdown(8)//. This refers to the //shutdown// page in section 8 of the manual.

You can read it like this:

<code>
man 8 shutdown
</code>

To find installed manual pages, please look in ///usr/man// and ///usr/pkg/man//.

Finally, you can read the manual page about //man// itself:

<code>
man man
</code>
