Not in the Porter's Handbook, but the FreeBSD Handbook has a whole page = about manpages: = https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics-more-inf= ormation.html Makefiles are written in make(1) syntax, but used only to execute other = FreeBSD commands and utilities; it simply wouldn't be practical to list = the manpages for each of them in the Porter's Handbook. FreeBSD works = very hard to maintain manpages for nearly every utility, conf file, and = important procedure. # Adam --=20 Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org https://www.adamw.org
