Published 1 month ago

Do you want to know where to find the answer to just about any Linux question you may ever have?

All the answers are in the built-in man pages on a Linux system! That’s probably not what you wanted to hear.

In this cheat sheet you’ll learn:

  • How to search through man pages to find the help (or command) you’re looking for.
  • How to decipher all the man page conventions such as underlined words, options enclosed in brackets, and more.
  • What to do when man doesn’t work. (IE, the “other” man command.)
  • How to mix and match multiple options (and option types) to make the command do exactly what you want.
  • And much more
