> it's pretty obvious that a couple of lines of code, showing how to do the work is better documentation than complete list of possible flags and parameters with no examples whatsoever. So no wonder people are reading stackoverflow instead of man-pages. And so on.
the best manpage is a man page with a nice EXAMPLES section you can grep to quickly. though the permutations offered by many programs prohibit all bases being covered.

- throwawayaway 12y agoyou really can't generalise like that. in fact referring to more than one person at a time is morally wrong. everybody is different. i think collective pronouns and plurals are weapons of oppression.
