NAME
man.archlinux.org — manual pages from Arch Linux packagesSYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This website is a repository of all manual pages available in the Arch Linux packages. There are 75127 manual pages and 8209 symbolic links from 3686 packages, another 10878 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).

.
Any part except <page>
