This is an old revision of the document!
A wise man once told me “Finding the right documentation is half the solution”, so I decided to make this page, which includes the NAME section of every tool in Base.
The table below is autogenerate using the following script
#!/bin/sh
PATH_DIRS="/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin"
echo > noman
for path in $PATH_DIRS;
do
for prog in `ls $path`;
do
printf 'inside `%s`, sorted alphabetically\n' "$path"
printf '||<50%%>'
man $prog 2>>noman | col -bx | awk '/^NAME/{f=1;next};/^SYNO/{f=0};/^DESCR/{f=0};/^DEPR/{f=0};/^QUERY/{f=0};f;' | tr '\n' ' '
printf "||\n"
done | sed -e 's/ - /||/' -e 's/ – /||/' -e 's/ -- /||/' -e 's/ */ /g' | sort -u
done \
| grep -v 'shell built-in commands'
cat noman | sed -e 's/$/\n/'
TODO
Add links to the manual pages and implementation.
