Networking manual pages

The networking manual pages describe commands, files, and other components of UnixWare 7 that are provided for administering and using networks.

This topic describes the UnixWare 7 networking manual page section naming scheme. For information on how to access manual pages from SCOhelp and the command line, see ``UnixWare 7 Manual Pages''.

Manual page section names

UnixWare 7 manual pages have a main section name, an optional prefix, and an optional suffix. The main section names are:

1: Unrestricted commands, which can be run by any user.
1M: Administrative commands, whose options may be fully or partially restricted to the root or owner accounts.
4: System files and file formats.
5: Miscellaneous information.

A variety of suffixes subdivide the sections further, to allow for logical groupings of manual pages by technology and to enable easy scanning:

bnu: Basic Networking Utilities (BNU).
ldap: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
nfs: Network File System (NFS).
nis: Network Information Service (NIS).
snmp: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
tcp: TCP/IP or the Internet protocol suite

Examples include section 1nfs (Unrestricted NFS commands) and 1Mldap (LDAP administrative commands).
