Online Sources of Information
HP-UX is designed so that you can access many sources of information
without leaving your system. Most of these information sources are accessi-
ble through the shell command line on a character terminal.
• Man pages: The HP-UX information found in HP-UX Reference is online
and accessible by clicking on the Toolbox button at the right of your Front
Panel, or by entering man command on a command line, where command
is the name of the HP-UX command or routine you want to get informa-
tion on. If you're not sure of the command name, you can enter man -k
keyword, where keyword is a likely topic word to search on. This results
in a display listing commands having the keyword in their description.
Similar reference information on HP-RT, found in HP-RT Reference, can
be displayed by entering rtman name on your HP-UX host system, where
name is the name of the HP-RT command, system call, or function call
you want to get information about.
On your HP-UX system, there are also a variety of files which contain ver-
sion-specific information. These will be useful in administering and config-
uring cards and devices for your version of HP-UX. Among these files are
the following:
• Release Notes: This is the online version of the Release Notes which come
with your system. It contains all the latest information, undocumented
changes, and bug fixes for your release of HP-UX. It also contains infor-
mation on the current version of HP VUE. The Release Notes document
resides in the /usr/share/doc directory, named by its release number; for
example, 10.20RelNotes for HP-UX 10.20.
• HP-UX and HP VUE Help. For graphics displays, extensive help informa-
tion on the operating system and the visual interface is included with HP
VUE.
