Re: Why complicated directory structure in Linux

Oddly in this case, the obvious "man bin" or something like that doesn't
turn up any pages.

"man man" seems a little bit obvious.

BTW it's a man page because it is a page from the (now mythical) printed
manual, which had an index and table of contents. It surely would be
possible to generate those now for the online manual, but there's no point:
no one would use them.

Try "man -a intro".
