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)Reply

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)Reply
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's cat man page; any idea where they got the man page?
