man.archlinux.org(7) Arch Linux manual pages man.archlinux.org(7)


NAME

man.archlinux.org — manual pages from Arch Linux packages


SYNOPSIS

!archman KEYWORDS...


DESCRIPTION

This website is a repository of all manual pages available in the Arch Linux
packages. There are 74733 manual pages and 7584 symbolic links from 3595
packages, another 10350 packages do not contain any indexable manual pages.

Traditionally, manual pages are organized into several sections. Read the
introduction pages for each section: intro(1), intro(2), intro(3), intro(4),
intro(5), intro(6), intro(7), intro(8). Some packages provide their manuals in a
subsection (e.g. 3ssl) and some use non-standard sections (e.g. 0 or n).


USAGE

There are several ways to find a specific manual page:
 * Use the search form to search for keywords in the names and descriptions of
   manual pages and packages. You can also the !archman DuckDuckGo bang to
   search Arch manual pages.
 * Use the listing form to list all manual pages matching the specified
   filtering and sorting criteria.
 * Manually use the addressing scheme as explained below.

The manual pages are addressable as
/man/<repo>/<pkgname>/<page>.<section>.<language>.<format>. Any part except
<page> is optional:

 * <repo> and <pkgname> can be used to disambiguate the page version found in
   multiple packages. If omitted, manual pages are looked up in package
   repositories in the following order: core, extra, community, multilib.
 * If <section> is missing, you will be redirected to the first manual page
   found in sections in the following order: 1, n, l, 8, 6, 3, 0, 2, 5, 7, 4, 9.
 * The default language is en. Note that en is also the fallback language for
   pages, which are not available in any other language.
 * The default format is html (other supported formats are txt and raw).

Note that symbolic links, such as bunzip2(1), are implemented as HTTP redirects
with the 302 status code. Symbolic links are included in per-package listings,
such as core/openssl.
