Too many people think that GNU manual pages are what all manual pages look like. Not everyone has the GNU tradition of telling you to switch to a different doco format for better man pages. (-: The thing to remember is that for many systems there are both guides and handbooks, tutorial style doco, in addition to the reference doco, the manual pages. Linux-based operating systems come up a bit short in comparison to the old commercial Unices which had specific user guides, and in comparison to the BSDs, all of which have handbooks. Even Debian only has an admininstrators' guide, not a users' guide. But The Linux Documentation Project is oft forgotten. It's stale. It's unfashionable. It's oddly chock full of how-tos for things that one wouldn't dream of wanting to do this century. But it also has longer format stuff, and it's still there. Consider the _Introduction To Linux_ for example: * https://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_05_01.html https://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_05_01.html Or the _Linux Command-Line Tools Summary_: * https://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/working-files-folders.html https://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/working-fi... Or the _Bash Guide for Beginners_: * https://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_04_03.html https://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_04_03.ht...
