The quality of the man pages is a typical Linux distribution
makes me despair for the sanity of users.
There are commands without man pages, there are command
options which are unexplained, there are descriptions
so detailed as to boggle the mind but no example of
the most common usages.
Is there a project which is working on this?
If not, is there are list of best practices for man pages?
