Hi, (Chris Davidson asked) > How does the manual page relationship work > between the builtin(1) manual pages and the > individual .Xr links to other pages Builtin(1) describes shell builtin commands, but the links in this see also section refer to: - pages for valid, discrete programs in the base system with identical names to these builtin commands - the shells supplying the builtin commands - the link that you are looking for, info(1), which we had until FreeBSD 11 [0] and can probably be removed For example, I have a shell builtin 'which' and I also have a '/usr/bin/which'. I investigate suspicious links with that command and whereis(1), but I feel like I need to at least glance over the pages or it gets too meta.
