Thank you very much for your reply, @Polytropon.I found some useful files in /usr/local/man and /usr/local/share/doc seems does not include the files which i want to get.It seems like that not all modules in /boot/kernel can correspond to a manual page. Could you please tell me how can i distinguish between OS-provided modules and non-OS-provided modules(modules like acpi* are OS-provided modules, of course) . 发自 Android 版 Yahoo 邮箱 在 2016年3月22日周二 时间:0:37，Polytropon<freebsd@edvax.de> 写道： On Mon, 21 Mar 2016 10:21:27 +0000 (UTC), Unixreader Mydog via freebsd-questions wrote: > Hello, everbody, i saw a module named i915kms.ko, and i want to know > what is its' facility, Could anybody please tell me where i can get > some useful information. This probably is a 3rd party module, so the documentation is located where the port maintainer decided to install it to. In most cases, this will be /usr/local/share/doc/<name>, but other locations are also possible. Some ported software provides a manual page, "man <name>", but sadly it's not always the case. Sometimes you can derive from the name: "i915kms" is shorthand for "Intel 915" (graphics chipset) kernel mode setting. > (and any other modules in /boot/kernel) Usually "man <name>" will work for OS-provided modules. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
