Obilgatory reminder to actually read the manpage. They were written for a reason. If you can't do that then either install a version of the "tldr" program like "tealdeer" or use curl cheat.sh/<program-name>

I refuse to read manpages because I hate mansplaining and I wont have The Man tell me what to do.

Personally I find the built in --help option to be much more useful than manpages. Manpages are excessively wordy and almost never have info I'm looking for without having to search.

Built in help options usually concisely list all the options with a brief explanation of what they do. That's perfect.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
