good evening dear frinends, hello to everyone,


which mapages do you use - which one do you trust!?

Man pages will never be dead, because they are more efficient and fast to browse with the documentation - think its crucial.


I always like man pages :


btw: the GitHub page of TLDR pages for Linux/Unix are a great collection - a truley great asset of knowledge and information: and yes it describes collection of simplified and community-driven man pages.

the question of the day is: which ressources do you use and consult if you Need to have more Information:

i think its an effort to have such great assets - like the following_

https://tldr.sh/ : Simplified Alternative To Linux Man Pages

https://tldr.sh/

https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

https://www.howtogeek.com/man-pages-...plex-try-tldr/

and of course:

https://man7.org/index.html
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ss.8.html


look forward to hear from you

greetings

It depends. If I am looking for options I refer to the installed man pages. They should be the latest and greatest for the version installed. Whereas if I am looking for generic help would be man7 or tldr.

good morning dear Michael,
many thanks for the reply - and for sharing your experience - and your "use-case" in this topic. Great to hear from you - and seeing you sharing your thoughts.

i find man7 very useful - and tldr too!!


Hope others will find your ideas also helpful - and will take a look at these pages.

BTW; i am loving these forums here. - They are so great!
