DESCRIPTION
This website is a repository of all manual pages available in the Arch Linux packages. There are 74420 manual pages and 8000 symbolic links from 3667 packages, another 10777 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).

.
