man

解釋

命令名稱:man
命令英文原意:manual
命令所在路徑:/usr/bin/man
執行權限:所有用戶
功能描述:獲得幫助資訊

語法

man [命令或組態檔]

示例

# 查看ls命令的幫助資訊
man ls
    空格    下翻頁
    pageup  上翻頁
    上箭頭  向上
    下箭頭  向下
    /關鍵字 搜索(回車搜索,n往下找)
    
    
# 查看/etc/services組態檔幫助檔案
man services
    提示No manual entry for services
    運行命令yum -y install man-pages,然后就可以運行了
    
    
# 查看/etc/passwd組態檔的幫助檔案(不正確)
man passwd
    查詢出來的命令的幫助檔案,此時是不對的
    
whereis passwd    
[root@izm5e2q95pbpe1hh0kkwoiz ~]# whereis passwd
passwd: /usr/bin/passwd /etc/passwd /usr/share/man/man1/passwd.1.gz /usr/share/man/man5/passwd.5.gz
    passwd既有命令又有組態檔,優先顯示命令的幫助檔案
    1 命令的幫助檔案
    5 組態檔的幫助檔案

# 查看passwd組態檔的幫助檔案
man 5 passwd

whatis

查看命令的簡單的描述資訊

示例

# 查看ls的簡單的描述資訊
whatis ls

[root@izm5e2q95pbpe1hh0kkwoiz ~]# whatis ls
ls (1)               - list directory contents

apropos

查看組態檔的簡單的描述資訊

示例

# 查看services的簡單描述資訊
apropos services

--help

查看某個具體命令的選項資訊

示例

# 查看touch命令的具體選項資訊
touch --help

[root@izm5e2q95pbpe1hh0kkwoiz ~]# touch --help
Usage: touch [OPTION]... FILE...
Update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time.

A FILE argument that does not exist is created empty, unless -c or -h
is supplied.

A FILE argument string of - is handled specially and causes touch to
change the times of the file associated with standard output.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
  -a                     change only the access time
  -c, --no-create        do not create any files
  -d, --date=STRING      parse STRING and use it instead of current time
  -f                     (ignored)
  -h, --no-dereference   affect each symbolic link instead of any referenced
                         file (useful only on systems that can change the
                         timestamps of a symlink)
  -m                     change only the modification time
  -r, --reference=FILE   use this file's times instead of current time
  -t STAMP               use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] instead of current time
      --time=WORD        change the specified time:
                           WORD is access, atime, or use: equivalent to -a
                           WORD is modify or mtime: equivalent to -m
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

Note that the -d and -t options accept different time-date formats.

info

使用方法跟man 幾乎一致, 顯示的資訊也大同小異

help

解釋

命令名稱:help
命令所在路徑:shell內置命令(無法通過which查找路徑,無法通過man查看幫助檔案)
執行權限:所有用戶
功能描述:獲得shell內置命令的幫助資訊

語法

help [命令]

示例

# 使用man查看shell內置命令(無法查看正確的幫助資訊)
man cd

# man 查詢cd查不出來正確的幫助檔案資訊,相反查出來的是shell的內置命令



# 正確查看shell內置命令的幫助檔案資訊,查看umask
help umask

[root@izm5e2q95pbpe1hh0kkwoiz ~]# help umask
umask: umask [-p] [-S] [mode]
    Display or set file mode mask.
    
    Sets the user file-creation mask to MODE.  If MODE is omitted, prints
    the current value of the mask.
    
    If MODE begins with a digit, it is interpreted as an octal number;
    otherwise it is a symbolic mode string like that accepted by chmod(1).
    
    Options:
      -p        if MODE is omitted, output in a form that may be reused as input
      -S        makes the output symbolic; otherwise an octal number is output
    
    Exit Status:
    Returns success unless MODE is invalid or an invalid option is given.
