Hello, Andriy. You wrote 21 =F1=E5=ED=F2=FF=E1=F0=FF 2011 =E3., 23:45:25: > Section 4 is kernel drivers. > Section 8 is userland system management utilities. > Man pages for driver and related utilities should be cross-referenced but= they > don't have to be the same one page. Yes, I understand that. > Or did you mean something else? I mean, that there is geom_fox(4) and, say, geom_map(4), but no geom_mirror(4), only gmirror(8). Why here is no gfox(8) is clear -- here is no such utility (what is strange enough, but it is topic of other thread). But why here is no geom_mirror(4) is not clear for me (Ok, one reason could be because nobody write such man page, but see below about it hypothetical content). And, as information in gmirror(8) will duplicate information in (hypothetical) geom_mirror(4) (as they both describe same object, really), it could be one page, found by two names. NB: geom_mirror is only example, here are A LOT of such modules with their configuration utilities. --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
