> Does anyone have tips for how to make it more useful? Maybe I could grep better for options? For example in the link, the author lists out common curl commands like making a POST request or adding a header. If you tried to look through the manpage for this, this would take a long time.
You can search a man page by pressing the '/' key, typing in what you want, and pressing 'enter'. 'n' jumps to the next instance of your search string 'N' jumps to the previous instance.
- andrewrn 1y agoOkay good point… I still think common usage examples would be nice because I don’t even know what some commands are capable of
- basscomm 1y agoSome man pages are better than others. OpenBSD's man pages are usually very good. Linux's man pages sometimes are so bare that they're worse than if they weren't there at all.
