Subject: [gentoo-user] Cleaning up multiple man pages (how?)
Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 18:43:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9acccfe50608171843v32e4abc3s218fcfcec5ae1344@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I've noticed that the whereis(1) command gives multiple results for
some queries. For instance, "whereis lilo" gives me
kevin@treat ~ $ whatis lilo
lilo (8) - install boot loader
lilo.conf [lilo] (5) - configuration file for lilo
lilo (8) - install boot loader
lilo.conf [lilo] (5) - configuration file for lilo
lilo (8) - install boot loader
lilo.conf [lilo] (5) - configuration file for lilo
kevin@treat ~ $
I surmise from this that there are multiple copies of the man pages
in various historical hiding places. However, I can't get whereis
or anything else to tell me where it found them. Is there some
neat way to find the locations? I'd like to figure out which ones
correspond to my actual software and to ditch the others.
