The response: 'It means what it says'. Is a form of circular logic
I don't agree. There was no logic there. I just pointed out the message didn't contain any hidden meaning.
It would be so helpful if there were one or two examples on every man page to show explicitly how to use the command.
That is the role of info pages, howtos, user guides, ... I don't think there is anything wrong with man pages. The problem is that many good info pages are still missing. -- A.M.
