I suspect it's supposed to be a pun on "man". The only other tool in this space that comes to mind is GNU's "info"... What name would you have given the tool?

  Literally anything else.

    Are you man enough to use `girl` pages?
    • JonnieCache 13y ago
      That would be ok. ladypages just sounds like an unsavoury euphemism.
    • wonderzombie 13y ago
      Call them syspages (modified from suggestion from upthread).
    • protomyth 13y ago
      So, these 'girl pages' only have examples and not the technical explanation of the command? Yeah, I'm thinking you might want to keep looking.

  How about Xpages? X for example but also to provide a nice counter to manpages?
  • shaneqful 13y ago
    There is already a software product owned by IBM called Xpages probably wouldn't be allowed due to copyright

  "boy" is an alternative, though I'm sure it would do very little to placate the misogyny complaints.
  • Crake 13y ago
    Nothing will placate the misogyny complaints, which is why they are best ignored.
• misnome 13y ago
  xmp?
• aiiane 13y ago
  tinpages. That way the tools do what they say on the tin.
  • etjossem 13y ago
    I really like this. I'm going to go ahead and add it to my ~/.bashrc, because I feel weird about typing bro a lot: alias tin='bro'
