manual - Why some commands have man entry point, others don't? -


Is every command in manual, or is it currently missing so that you can install the manual later? Sometimes, "- help" also does not give you any information

I talk about Bash I am (Terminal app on many computers)

No. A "command" is just an executable file that can contain the code in the file that the programmer decides, which it can. So if you add --help as an argument in the command, by default it is ignored, but whoever can create that file - when a logic is passed as argument then something Can choose the option to display support.

And as far as the manual page goes, they are found in / usr / share / man / . In it each directory is for different types of manuals (more on that) so if you install a command, then the author of that command manages a page in the / usr / share / man Can keep in
