Exam objective 1.108.1 has a weight of 4, and verifies that candidates are able to use and administer the MAN facility and the contents of User Share Doc. This includes locating relevant MAN pages, searching within MAN pages, and formatting MAN pages for print. The MAN utility will format and display Linux documentation for you. All you need do is name the entry and it displays it for you. The documents all have a standard set of headings and divisions, and you can use regular expressions to search inside the document. For example. This document talks about MAN path, and if you want to see where, just enter a slash and the string you're looking for. It not only finds it, it highlights all the locations where it does find it. Using the down arrow to scroll to the bottom of the page of particular interest, we find right here the existence of a file named MANpath.config. If you don't have a MANpath environment variable set, this file determines where MAN looks for documentation. The letter 'q' closes the document. If you're not sure of the exact name, you can search for a MAN page by keyword with the apropos command. For example, if you want to find all the commands dealing with root you use it as a keyword on the apropos command and you get this. Then you can go directly to the MAN page you're looking for. The numbers in parentheses indicate what section the document is in. Sometimes you will have the same command in more than one section and you need to specify which section you want. That's the case with Manpath. You can always use the Whatis command to check. If you just enter the MAN command and the name, you only get the first one it comes to. However, you can get either one by specifying the section number. This command gets the second of the two entries. There will come a time when you want to print a MAN page. It happens because some MAN pages contain look-up tables and lists of things that you might need for reference. The first thing you want to do is find the file holding the MAN page. This example will give you the location and file name of the LSMAN page. It's a compressed file in the G-zip format, so it has a suffix: .GZ. Then, you use that filename on a command like this one. The ZCAT utility will uncompress the MAN page and pass it through the pipe to groff. The groff command formats printer output. You need to tell it that the input its getting is in the MAN page format, and tell it what kind of output you want. In this example, it's postscript. But you can choose ASCII, HTML, UTF8, or any of several other formats. The output in this example is then piped to the default printer. Some other local documentation that you may not remember that you have: as you know, software is often installed in the user local directory. Besides the MAN pages, you also often get documentation in the directory named User Local Doc. You need to know how to explore the MAN pages. The Intel byte order and the network byte order are different. What facilities are built into Linux to convert them for you. The manpath.conf file has three different kinds of entries. You need to read the MAN page and find out just what they are. Format a MAN page for your printer.
