rae31883 ra1a7f4f 55 55 as seen or copy-and-pasted.</para> 56 56 57 <para><filename>passwd(5)</filename></para> 58 59 <para>This format is used to refer to a specific manual page (hereinafter 60 referred to simply as a <quote>man</quote> page). The number inside parentheses 61 indicates a specific section inside of <command>man</command>. For example, 62 <command>passwd</command> has two man pages. Per LFS installation instructions, 63 those two man pages will be located at 64 <filename>/usr/share/man/man1/passwd.1</filename> and 65 <filename>/usr/share/man/man5/passwd.5</filename>. Both man pages have different 66 information in them. When the book uses <filename>passwd(5)</filename> it is 67 specifically referring to <filename>/usr/share/man/man5/passwd.5</filename>. 68 <command>man passwd</command> will print the first man page it finds that 69 matches <quote>passwd</quote>, which will be 70 <filename>/usr/share/man/man1/passwd.1</filename>. For this example, you will 71 need to run <command>man 5 passwd</command> in order to read the specific page 72 being referred to. It should be noted that most man pages do not have duplicate 73 page names in different sections. Therefore, <command>man <replaceable>[program 74 name]</replaceable></command> is generally sufficient.</para> 75 57 76 </sect1> 58 77
