man page 通常是這樣使用的:
 man test
TEST(1)                               User Commands                              TEST(1)
NAME
       test - check file types and compare values
SYNOPSIS
       test EXPRESSION
       test
       [ EXPRESSION ]
       [ ]
       [ OPTION
DESCRIPTION
       Exit with the status determined by EXPRESSION.
       --help display this help and exit
       --version
              output version information and exit
但是,有時我們會在 man 後面再加上 -a ﹑ -2 -3 之類的數字,這些數字是什麼意思呢?
其實我們回到起初,就是一個很好玩的操作:「看操作手冊的操作手冊」
意即下:
man man你就可以在「操作手冊的操作手冊裡」看到,這些數字所代表的意涵:
1   Executable programs or shell commands
       2   System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
       3   Library calls (functions within program libraries)
       4   Special files (usually found in /dev)
       5   File formats and conventions eg /etc/passwd
       6   Games
       7   Miscellaneous  (including  macro  packages and conven‐
           tions), e.g. man(7), groff(7)
       8   System administration commands (usually only for root)
       9   Kernel routines [Non standard]
