you mean ? ascii

  No I don't -I live in a different universe to you: % (uname; cd /usr/ports; ls -d */ascii) FreeBSD zsh: no matches found: */ascii % which ascii ascii not found % It's the same on OSX and debian by default doesn't install that command. If you live inside a POSIX/IEEE 1003 system and want to know the ascii table reliably then the command I run is the one which works. If your distribution doesn't ship manuals by default you have bigger problems.

    ”man ascii” has as much guarantee to work on a POSIX system as a command called ”ascii” seeing neither (specifically a man page called ”ascii”) are part of the standard. So you will either get command not found, or man page not found.

      Neither being guaranteed does not mean both have the same likelyhood of existing. The man page comes preinstalled on most modern non-embedded POSIX systems. The command does not.
