| This directory contains the bash documentation. |
| |
| FAQ - a set of frequently-asked questions about Bash with answers |
| INTRO - a short introduction to bash |
| article.ms - an article I wrote about bash for The Linux Journal |
| bash.1 - the bash man page |
| builtins.1 - a man page that documents the builtins, extracted from bash.1 |
| bashref.texi - the `bash reference manual' |
| bashref.info - the `bash reference manual' processed by `makeinfo' |
| readline.3 - the readline man page |
| |
| The `.ps' files are postscript versions of the above. The `.html' |
| files are HTML versions of the man page and reference manual. The |
| `.0' files are formatted manual pages. The `.txt' versions are |
| ascii -- the output of `groff -Tascii'. |
| |
| The rest of this file explains how to use the `builtins.1' man page. |
| |
| For each command in the list of builtins create a file in man/man1 called: |
| |
| ${command}.1 |
| |
| eg. |
| for.1 |
| type.1 |
| alias.1 |
| etc. |
| |
| All these files are identical as follows: |
| |
| jaws@jaws(264)$ cat alias.1 |
| .so man1/builtins.1 |
| jaws@jaws(265)$ |
| |
| Make sure you adjust the .so line in builtins.1 to reflect where you |
| put it. |
