For pasting the manpage extracts? That's simple. In
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2022/01/msg01055.html
Gene quoted "the bottom of /etc/dhcpcd.conf" so I needed to
see that file.
$ apt-file find /etc/dhcpcd.conf
dhcpcd5: /etc/dhcpcd.conf
$
Have I got, or ever even seen, package dhcpcd5? Leaving off the
5 in case it's a version number:
$ grep -r dhcpcd /home/debian/packages/ ~/pc/configure/out-of-date/dpkg-l-*
$
No—never installed it, going back as far as hamm. So, off to
https://packages.debian.org/index
to get the link, and wget downloads the package into
/home/debian/bullseye/dhcpcd5_7.1.0-2+b1_amd64.deb
as there's no point in apt-get -d putting it into my cache.
(Besides, I'm here sitting at a buster machine.)
Then mc opens the .deb file as if it were a local directory.
Everything's there: the configuration file itself, and all
the docs, including the manpage(s).
So why use <https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/dhcpcd5/dhcpcd.conf.5.en.html>?
Cheers,
David.
