And "man ls" (on the command line) will tell you all about "ls" and its=20
options. Similarly, "man mv" will tell you about "mv" and so forth. And "=
man=20
man" will tell you about the man command itself.

A few shell commands have more documentation in "info" so, if you don't f=
ind=20
what you need with "man", then FIRST try "info info" to learn how to use=20
"info" and then do, for example, "info ls". ("info libc" is a prime examp=

-- and the documentation is HUGE but only available through "info".)
