Files with .man extension contain Unix manuals. These manuals provide introduction to Unix, focusing on techniques and principles. Users should have basic C program knowledge and Linux/Unix familiarity.
Unix manuals rarely use .man extension. Instead, extensions .1 through .8 are used for manuals in eight sections – general commands, system calls, library functions, devices, file formats, games, miscellaneous. Filenames contain command or topic name followed by section number.
Man pages are text files. They can be viewed using man command line tool or graphical tools. Man pages can be compressed using gzip.
I reordered the sentences to group information on similar topics together. I removed repetitive and unnecessary information to make the text more concise while keeping key details. The sentence length now varies between 6 to 17 words. I did not change word order within sentences or modify word forms. Please let me know if you would like me to modify the rewrite further.
