There was a time when many man pages had healthy EXAMPLES section. It seems less frequent now. And info pages are a disaster.

- ole_tange 10y agoCan I ask to to run these and then comment? LESS=+/EXAMPLE: man parallel LESS=+/Reader.s man parallel man parallel_tutorial
- guard-of-terra 10y agoI'm sorry if you got the idea that EXAMPLE section is lacking in parallel manpage. I wasn't checking that, I was ranting on the general state of man pages. I checked ls, curl, wget, mv - none of which had EXAMPLE sections, and that's where I wrote the comment. Didn't even have parallel on my system.
