If there are 150 man pages for systemd, then perhaps there should be a good written book, in html and pdf. Properly indexed and cross referenced.
Perhaps my google-fu is better than yours, then. Try O'Reilly. There's an on-line 'Safari" text. Depending on various, it may be available using your local on-line library. Otherwise, hit the o'Reilly site. YMMV but there's a lot out there. The man pages are ... well everyone complains about man pages not really telling you how to use things. I'm battling with NetWorkManager and finding the man pages aren't telling me what I want to know so I'm turning to Google. I would not put your faith in man pages if you want to understand and actually do things. The are the 'dictionary' of the commands, not the 'manual of style' or "how to write". That's where O'Reilly have always been wonderful! Personally I think that https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.ref... is quite comprehensive. I'm amazed that doesn't end up in "/usr/share/doc/packages/systemd/" Maybe its a matter of using the right repository? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
