Manualer

Mac OS X makes use of several hundred Unix commands. These commands are accessible in the Terminal and are very well documented in the Manuals. The Unix Utilities panel > man allows you to format and display these manual pages.


To display a "man" page:

Étape 1

Click on the Utilities icon in the Toolbar and select the Manuals tab.

Étape 2

Select the name of the command desired in the list at left or type the name of the command in the search field.

Étape 3

Click the "Show" button.

Étape 4

To convert the man page to PDF and open it automatically with Preview, click the "Create PDF" button.

The "Rebuild" button allows you to update the whatis.db database, located in the /usr/share/man/ folder used by the "whatis", "apropos" and "man" commands.
