SGI systems include a set of Linux man pages, formatted in the standard UNIX “man page” style.
Important system configuration files and commands are documented on man pages. These are
found online on the internal system disk (or DVD) and are displayed using the man command. For
example, to display a man page, type the request on a command line:
man commandx
References in the documentation to these pages include the name of the command and the section
number in which the command is found. For additional information about displaying man pages
using the man command, see man(1). In addition, the apropos command locates man pages
based on keywords. For example, to display a list of man pages that describe disks, type the
following on a command line:
apropos disk
For information about setting up and using apropos, see apropos(1).
