I'm noticing that at the bottom of some man pages in the "See Also" section are references to documentation that aren't other man pages. For example, at the bottom of the man page for bash it references the following documents:
- Bash Reference Manual, Brian Fox and Chet Ramey
- The Gnu Readline Library, Brian Fox and Chet Ramey
- The Gnu History Library, Brian Fox and Chet Ramey
- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) Part 2: Shell and Utilities, IEEE
I'm aware I can Google them and find them that way, but are they hiding anywhere on my system already? I'm aware the Bash Reference Manual is available through info bash
. Is there something similar (non-pdf --- HTML, ASCII, man page, or other info page) for the others?
/usr/share/doc/
. The repos don't have a package that seems to contain those documents either.
