MISSING(G) Linux Programmer's Manual MISSING(G) NAME missing - missing manual pages DESCRIPTION This manual page intends to document which manual pages are missing in various sections. Bug reports against the package manpages-dev or manpages were opened for all of them through the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS). Some of these bug reports were reported upstream while some weren't. Upstream, however, is not able to create arbi- trary manpages without additional information and addi- tional spare time. Hence, it's completely useless to sim- ply report them upstream. Manpages represent an important means of documentation which can easily be read and converted into various for- mats. They are very helpful for cheking how things work, rather than for a tutorial. If you notice that more pages are missing, please try to find additional information and report it as wishlist bug against this package. If you are confident with the issue, please write up a preliminary manpage and attach it to the bug report. It doesn't matter if your english is bad or if you mixed up markup, as long as the content can be used as source for a new manpage. A detailed documentation on how to write manpages is available in man(n). When writing manual pages please ensure that they are con- forming with The Single UNIX Specification (see below). Linux ought to be conforming to this specification. Dif- ferences need to be documented, in additional sections, though. MISSING PAGES The following is a list of missing pages sorted by section and bug number. If you can contribute content or even a manual page, please send a mail to nnnnn@bugs.debian.org where nnnnn refers to the bug number from below.

Nevertheless, some section 9 manpages would be nice, indeed. See Debian Bug#102724. SEE ALSO undocumented(d), undocumented(d), man(n).
