[opensuse-support] Where'd `man ascii` go?
Been typing `man ascii` for years, I find that on 15, it is not present. `zypper se ascii` didn't give me anything that screamed out as the obvious answer. Suggestions? TIA.

Please, locate the file (maybe ascii.x.gz) then find the package name for us: rpm -qf /path/file -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))

The idea is to try on a machine where "man ascii" works. Probably TW. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))

I still have: $ rpm -q -f /usr/share/man/man7/ascii.7.gz man-pages-4.16-2.2.noarch -- Adam Mizerski

Then wait
I still have: $ rpm -q -f /usr/share/man/man7/ascii.7.gz man-pages-4.16-2.2.noarch
Thanks. Then the problem is that the man-pages-4.16-lp150.1.1.noarch lacks that particular page at least. Someone wants to create a bugzilla for it? ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))

The idea is to try on a machine where "man ascii" works. Probably TW. man ascii gives ASCII(7) Linux Programmer's Manual ASCII(7)
NAME ascii - ASCII character set encoded in octal, decimal, and hexadecimal DESCRIPTION ASCII is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a 7-bit code. Many 8-bit codes (e.g., ISO 8859-1) contain ASCII as their lower half. The international counterpart of ASCII is known as ISO 646-IRV. The following table contains the 128 ASCII characters. C program '\X' escapes are noted. Oct Dec Hex Char Oct Dec Hex Char ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 000 0 00 NUL '\0' (null character) 100 64 40 @ and the rest.

Someone wants to create a bugzilla for it? ;-)
Well... I installed that package (thank you), and now I have a working `man ascii`. My next question, which the list certainly need not address, is HOW THE HECK did 15 not install man pages...? First time in 18 years of using SuSE a release didn't give me that package. Thanks to all.

Huh, sorry, no bugzilla needed. I sed wrong machine via ssh for testing, the package does contain man ascii.

No, that's not it. Man pages are installed, but only those that correspond to the installed programs. But this particular package contains extra manuals, not necessarily from programs. URL : http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/download.htm Summary : Linux Manual Pages Description : A large collection of man pages (documentation) from the Linux Documentation Project (LDP). The man pages are organized into the following sections: Section 1, user commands (intro only); Section 2, system calls; Section 3, libc calls; Section 4, devices (e.g., hd, sd); Section 5, file formats and protocols (e.g., wtmp, /etc/passwd, nfs); Section 6, games (intro only); Section 7, conventions, macro packages, etc. (e.g., nroff, ascii); and Section 8, system administration (intro only). Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.0 cer@Telcontar:~> It is an optional package. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))

Install the documentation pattern :-), apparently some people don't want documentation anymore.
