True, but does ''anyone'' use man(1) to look up programming documention? --GlynWebster
All the time! Whenever I'm programming in [C] or [C++] (or occasionally [Python] and [Perl], if calling libc functions from there). What better way to refresh your memory of the correct order of arguments for memset(3), or to find out which header files you need to #include if you want to call the inet_addr(3) function? Sure beats getting out of the chair and finding a reference book :) --JohnMcPherson

+Er, I'd be lost without man 2,3,4, 7 and 8! Hence why I'm constantly touching up their wiki pages (as I'm starting to try and use the wiki instead of man for these) -- Isomer
