Man Pages

The following thing we have to discuss is "man" pages. Man pages represent manual pages. What you need to recall with man pages is that on the off chance that you don't see how an order should function or what order you should run, the man pages are the place where you look into data about any order.

Let us state for instance that you need to look into data about the ping order. What you do is you type in man followed by the order that you need to sort out. Take a gander at the grammar of this beneath:

$ man ping

What this will do in Linux is it will open up a page that will depict to you the ping order and all that you require to think about the ping order. So on the off chance that you are attempting to sort out how specific order functions, all you require to do is type in man, a space, and afterward, the name of the order, that will at that point open up a manual page for you where you will have the option to find out about whatever it is you need to think about that specific order.

These days, in the age of the Internet, doing a straightforward Google search is a ton simpler than attempting to do it with the man page. Be that as it may, if Internet access is down, it is a great idea to have the man pages helpful.

In Windows, the man pages are essentially the old "question mark" order where it shows you the "Help" pages. The main disadvantage of the Man pages in Linux is that it doesn't clarify a ton of things to you. It doesn't make things fundamentally direct.

So when you go to the man pages and look into the ping order, you will get this entire page of text that will educate you regarding the ping order. In any case, when you are there, you won't realize how to escape that page. It isn't easy to understand and clear. You can hit the Escape key, yet that will do nothing. You can attempt to hit Enter or Backspace, however, they will do nothing, either.

To exit out of the man pages, you have to type in the letter "Q" to quit. At the point when you type the letter "Q," you will exit the man pages. So except if you press each key in your console and investigation, you won't discover that the order to exit out of the man page is by composing the letter "Q." As you can see, this is outlandish since the vast majority are accustomed to squeezing the Escape key in Windows to exit out of anything.

So now, let us state you need to comprehend what the ping order is about. Feel free to type the order underneath:

$ man ping

After you type that in and press ENTER, you will see the man page for the ping order simply like the one beneath:
