Operation Manual

Kernel routines (nonstandard)9
Each man page consists of several parts labeled NAME, SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION,
SEE ALSO, LICENSING, and AUTHOR. There may be additional sections available
depending on the type of command.
35.3 Info Pages
Info pages are another important source of information on your system. Usually, they
are more detailed than man pages. To view the info page for a certain command, enter
info followed by the name of the command, for example, info ls. You can browse
an info page with a viewer directly in the shell and display the different sections, called
“nodes.” Use Space to move forward and <— to move backwards. Within a node, you
can also browse with Page ↑ and Page ↓ but only Space and <— will take you also to
the previous or subsequent node. Press Q to end the viewing mode. Not every man page
comes with an info page and vice versa.
