Description Chris White (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-27 23:46:27 UTC 
New documented created on the fundamentals of man pages as well as some handy viewing tips. This doc was made because answering the question "How do I search man pages" is really weird.

+This document hopes to help shed some light on these capabilities.

you should also mention the 3p and perhaps the x categories ([1-8]x)

in the code listing where you do searches, you should highlight the strings that were found (2.8 should highlight '-D' for example)
