Man Man

A common question in Linux forums is the meaning of numbers when using the man command. I have not memorized the numbers and likely never will because the numbers are explained in the man man page.

The standard sections of man pages include:

User Commands
System Calls
C Library Functions
Devices and Special Files
File Formats and Conventions
Games et al.
Miscellanea
System Administration tools and Deamons
