NAME
     man - run off section of UNIX manual

SYNOPSIS
     man [ section ] [ title ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     Man is a shell command file which locates and prints one or
     more sections of this manual.  Section is the section number
     of the manual, as an Arabic not Roman numeral, and is
     optional.  Title is one or more section names; these names
     bear a generally simple relation to the page captions in the
     manual.  If the section is missing, 1 is assumed.  For exam-
     ple,

             man man

     would reproduce this page.

FILES
     /usr/man/man?/*

BUGS
     The manual is supposed to be reproducible either on the pho-
     totypesetter or on a typewriter.  However, on a typewriter
     some information is necessarily lost.
