Official site of Linux man pages?
[edit]@Artoria2e5: Presumably "the Linux man-page project" is the project located at https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/.
Does it have a site that provides HTML versions of the formatted man pages? If so, where is that site? Guy Harris (talk) 19:12, 18 July 2026 (UTC)
- It does not. Because there is not one, it would make a lot of sense to find a site that provides a resonably recent (compared to man-page's current release) version of said manual pages. Hence manned.org. Artoria2e5 🌉 07:26, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
It does not.
So what makes it a "Linux man-page project", then? https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ claims that "The Linux man-pages project documents the Linux kernel and C library interfaces that are employed by user-space programs."; where is the result of that effort to document them? (To be fair, that project description does not explicitly including documenting Linux commands.)Because there is not one, it would make a lot of sense to find a site that provides a resonably recent (compared to man-page's current release) version of said manual pages. Hence manned.org.
Experimenting with {{man|1|cat|Linux}} gave me a reference that pointed to some version of Arch Linux'scatman page; any idea where they got the man page? Guy Harris (talk) 10:05, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
