Is "man ssh" really that hard? Is it necessary to reproduce the excellent documentation that already exists?

- Groxx 16y agoNot hard, no. And expectable, yes. But by the same token though, why document any code? It executes the same no matter what comments are around it, and all the underlying operations are well documented.
- spekode_ 16y agoThese aren't lists of ingredients, they are recipes. A typical problem with man pages is that they list the ingredients but don't give you any useful recipes. Some have an 'Examples' section but most don't. These are recipes: ingredients and parameters for them, and a short explanation of what you're going to get. Makes sense to me.
