Which I've not found the docs that would teach me that yet. If such
actually exist, where do I find the top of that man tree?

Show me. Or show myself. Now I see there is actually such a manpage now.
It didn't exist the last time I looked which was probably 3+ years ago
after it came up at about jessie in my awareness. Its gonna take a while
to absorb all that, the manpage starts out a bit "abstract" and will
take a goodly number of re-reads to connect all the dots. Lots of see
also's to absorb. And having become aware of the manpages for that, I
withdraw my objections until such time as I do understand it.

No, its quite a bit more verbose.
Thanks for pulling my chain, Tomas, and makeing me discover that docs do
indeed exist.
