This package provides the man command. This utility is the primary
way of examining the on-line help files (manual pages). Other utilities
provided include the whatis and apropos commands for searching the
manual page database, the manpath utility for determining the manual
page search path, and the maintenance utilities mandb, catman and
zsoelim. This package uses the groff suite of programs to format and
display the manual pages.
