A manpage tells a user what a program does without having to run the program - e.g. when interrogating a system over SSH or if X has just died for whatever reason. There is a reason why manpages are necessary for executables and it has nothing to do with what any one particular executable can or cannot actually do. It is about providing information on what the user can do when faced with problems or when the user just needs information without a GUI. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
