我们知道,linux下的man手册是我们开发很好的参考资料,为了快速的定位出我们要参考资料,我们可以在查询的时候指定资料的section索引号。man在内部把按照功能将这些资料分为了9个seciton,这些section索引号与对应section功能的对应关系如下:
section number | description |
---|---|
1 | Executable programs or shell commands |
2 | System calls (functions provided by the kernel) |
3 | Library calls (functions within program libraries) |
4 | Special files (usually found in /dev) |
5 | File formats and conventions eg /etc/passwd |
6 | Games |
7 | Miscellaneous (including macro packages and conventions), e.g. man(7),groff(7) |
8 | System administration commands (usually only for root) |
9 | Kernel routines [Non standard] |
很明显了,如果想查shell命令的手册就输入man 1 xxx
例如
man 1 ls
想查系统调用函数的手册输入man 2 xxx
例如:
man 2 read
想查标准库函数的手册输入 man 3 xxx
例如:
man 3 printf
