You can obtain SGI documentation, release notes, or man pages in the following ways:
• See the SGI Technical Publications Library at http://docs.sgi.com. Various formats
are available. This library contains the most recent and most comprehensive set of
online books, release notes, man pages, and other information.
• The release notes, which contain the latest information about software and
documentation in this release, are in a file named README.SGI in the root
directory of the SGI ProPack for Linux Documentation CD.
• You can also view man pages by typing man <title> on a command line.
SGI systems include a set of IRIX man pages, formatted in the standard UNIX "man
page" style. Important system configuration files and commands are documented on
man pages. These are found online on the internal system disk (or CD-ROM) and are
displayed using the man command. For example, to display the man page for the
xscsidisktest command, type the following on a command line:
man xscsidisktest
References in the documentation to these pages include the name of the command and
the section number in which the command is found.
For additional information about displaying man pages using the man command, see
man(1).
In addition, the apropos command locates man pages based on keywords. For example,
to display a list of man pages that describe disks, type the following on a command line:
apropos disk
For information about setting up and using apropos, see apropos(1).
