Anybody agree with me? Looking at intro(8) and taking the first description sentence out of context leads me to believe that someone thought some non-commands belonged there. It specifically mentions "crash". It could use a rewrite no matter what decision is made regarding section 8. I have no opinion on that. I was suprised that these things weren't described (at least briefly) in the man(1) man page and I didn't find them in the handbook (though my note says they are there). Probably, man(1) should mention intro(*). To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
