Hello,
I'm a fairly new user in Linux, and I've been studying and attempting to
use the commands available to me at the command line by reading the man
and info pages. I'm running into lots of problems determining the proper
syntax for many of the commands due to very sketchy documentation.
I'm winding up trying some commands over and over again, as I attempt to
discover the apparently secret twists to the syntax required to get a
command to do it's thing. After many tries I sometimes finally get it
right, and there is no mention in the docs of the requirement for the
use of specific syntax options I eventually discover are required to use
a command.
I consider this a bug in the documentation, and think it would be nice
if the documentation writers would add a --verbose --verbose switch to
their writing behaviors when producing man pages.
Later, Ray Parrish
