- Skunkleton 6y agoThis is often true, but many man pages have a pretty good examples section. Sometimes these are good enough, and are at least worth checking for.
- marmot777 6y agoI have to confess, I use man pages for a quick thing I want to know such as options. For how to, man pages aren’t structured to teach step by step like a how to. A how to is like a tutorial or instruction manual and I think man pages are like reference books.
