The Missing Man Pages Poject (or m2p2) aims to provide the man-pages for various applications for UNIX-like Operating Systems, where the author did not provide an adaequate man-page. As proper documentation is crucial for optimal use of an Operating Systems and its tools, it is important that each and every application has a man-page describing at least all the available command-line options and a general overview of what the program does.

If the author of a particular piece of software did not provide a proper man-page for his or her project, the Missing Man Pages Poject will provide it.

If you are an author of software that did not have a man-page but you have been contacted from me or find a man-page for your project here, please feel free to use the pages in any way that you see fit. The main goal of The Missing Man Pages Project is to provide each and every executable with a man-page -- if the original author uses one of the pages provided here as a starting point to provide proper documentation in future releases, this goal is achieved.

You may wish to send any updated or modified versions to the project, so that people who use previous releases of your software but happen to download the man-page from these sites also get the most recent version.

If you make use of an application and realize that it does not provide a man-page, you can:

Write the manpage yourself and submit it for inclusion in m2p2.

In general, you can:

Browse SGML information -- these are the sgml-sources used for some of the man-pages. They were converted using makeman.pl
Download all available pages. This link is updated regularly, but not necessarily daily. So if you find a man-page in one of the directories that is not part of the tar-ball, try again later.
