Week #4: Aw, Man

18 September 2026

Hello!

Knowing how to use programs can be confusing. Luckily, Linux comes with a few ways to view documentation, with one of the most prolific ones being man pages. This week, we’ll give you a tour of how to understand, use, and write them.

Also, if you have a presentation you would like to give, you should sign up! If you want a talk, but don’t have the time/expertise, feel free to suggest one instead!

As always, we’re meeting from 4:30-6:00pm this Friday in GOL-1445.
