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 op-
     tional.  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.
