missing man pages

[idank]

To submit a missing man page please reply here with a link to it in raw format (nroff). Even better: I created a repo with all the source man pages I used here, clone it and send me a pull request.

If then else man page is missing

apt-key wasn't parsed well: http://manned.org/apt-key/d6b5fc0e / source: http://manned.org/apt-key/56b239b8/src

Example: http://explainshell.com/explain/apt-key?args=adv+--recv-keys+--keyserver+keyserver.ubuntu.com+0xcbcb082a1bb943db

Great idea, though. Need to find ways to use/improve this and help co-workers with their command-fu.

Perhaps a workaround for apt-key and similar is to simply highlight in the man page where query tokens are found.

update-rc.d man page is missing.

Nice going though, keep it up 👍

Here is one, for OpenVZ man pages (vzctl et al)

• Add OpenVZ command line man pages explainshell-manpages#1

BASH built-ins such as compgen, read, etc. are missing.

Use help compgen, help read, etc to view the "manpages"

apt-key wasn't parsed well

I fixed what I could in apt-key (it now recognizes adv), but looking more closely reveals that adv borrows some options from gpg, hence why some flags you pasted aren't in apt-key's man page. There's no way of making explainshell figure that out I'm afraid.

systemctl and systemd-analyze pages are missing

Since ZFS is getting bigger and bigger - here are Oracle's man page for Solaris and FreeBSD one:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=zfs&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.1-RELEASE&format=html

Hi,

would it be possible to add illumos man pages?

http://illumos.org/man/1/all
http://illumos.org/man/1b/all
http://illumos.org/man/1c/all
http://illumos.org/man/1has/all
http://illumos.org/man/1m/all
http://illumos.org/man/1onbld/all

These one contains up-to-date ZFS manpage as well.

Support for the Java VM is missing - but I understand the difficulties in getting that working (different Java versions and possibly a lack of a manpage).

I think adding the pacman man page would be beneficial to some; although, I'm not sure if you are doing distro specific commands: https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman.8.html

[eprasad123]

a kvm virtual machine heavily rely on qemu-kvm parameters, in fact, everything depends on how the parameters passed to qemu-kvm binary and having this command in explainshell.com would be really really helpful.

Similar to vadi2, id also like to see java VM related man pages added.

I've found this:
http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/java/

but as stated earlier the different versions/variants may be a burden.

In any case, Thanks!

First thing I tried was

openssl base64 -d -a -in ~/Desktop/test.b64 -out test

not a simple fix I suspect....
