Re: man pages and symbolic links



Multiple binaries often have have the same manpage, especially if the two programs are identical except for name, or do the oposite of each other.

Examples (based on a cygwin system, so these might not hold true in debian):
gunzip, gzip, and zcat
bzip2, bunzip2, bzcat and bz2recover
grep, egrep, and fgrep
bzgrep, bzegrep, bzfgrep
gawk and pgawk
