How come I never see them come up in Google searches? I have seen it come up when looking for conditioning your battery or the shortcut keys for Target Disk Mode. But more often I'll search for a runaway process name or an OS message that is spamming Console. The top results are Apple Discussion posts that go on for pages, but often don't have a clear result. I also recently was trying to learn more about macOS' init system and got lost like the article mentioned.
- extra88 9y agoFor the processes, it's not that the documentation doesn't exist, it's that they're very low-ranked in search results (and many who know that they're looking for a process name know to try 'man foo' before a web search) [0]. Any documentation rarely describes exactly a problem someone is experiencing but a discussion forum might, so those are the links that come up first in a search. As for message in logs, I don't tend to find those in other *nix documentation either.
