| | The name of the man page's source file (the input to the formatting system) is the name of the command, function or file name, followed by a dot, followed by the section character. | | | Here is a little perl script I wrote that can delete the page headers and footers, thereby saving you a few pages (and mother nature a tree) when printing long and elaborate man pages. | | | The 500+ man pages of the Linux Documentation Project are source only. |

| | Project info for The Missing Man Pages Project |
| | As proper documentation is crucial for optimal use of an Operating Systems and its tools, it is important that each and every application has a man-page describing at least all the available command-line options and a general overview of what the program does. | | | Writing man-pages is an easy task that can be accomplished by everybody, so if you would like to contribute to Open Source but lack the time or skills for bigger projects, join m2p2 to make UNIX-like systems easier to use. | | | If the author of a particular piece of software did not provide a proper man-page for his or her project, the Missing Man Pages Poject will provide it. |

| | How Can I Print Unix "man" Pages? |
| | But if you view the file with an editor - which in most cases shows the characters actually in the file - or, worse yet, print the file, it will hardly resemble the screen image because of all the peculiar embedded formatting characters. | | | If you have questions on the above or would like additional information, contact Joe Freeman, extension 4221, room 13-513, email FREEMANJ on the OpenVMS Cluster (or freemanj@fusion.gat.com on the Internet). | | | The solution to the problem is to pipe the output of man into the standard but obscure col command, using an appropriate set of options; this filters the byte stream so that all that remains is ordinary text, which can printed or displayed with no trouble on almost any ASCII output device. |
