Linux学习笔记-帮助类命令
1.9.1.man
英文：manual
获得命令或者配置文件的帮助信息
查看ls命令的帮助信息
man ls
类似于more和less合在一起的命令使用方式
空格：翻页
q：退出
回车：一行一行向下翻
输入/ 和搜索内容，按回车可以搜索
查看配置文件帮助时，不能使用绝对路径，直接输入配置文件名称就可以了。
查看配置文件yum.conf的帮助信息
man yum.conf
查看passwd配置文件的帮助
[root@localhost ~]# which passwd
/usr/bin/passwd
[root@localhost ~]# whereis passwd
passwd: /usr/bin/passwd /etc/passwd /usr/share/man/man1/passwd.1.gz
whereis 显示了passwd是一个命令，同时还一个同名的配置文件，此时使用man passwd显示的是命令的帮助，而不是配置文件的帮助。
passwd.1.gz代表的是命令的帮助，1表示命令帮助，5表示配置文件的帮助，例如：passwd.5.gz
此时要查看配置文件帮助怎么办？如下命令
man 5 passwd
1.9.2.whatis
whatis 查看一个命令的简述，是干什么的。
[root@localhost ~]# whatis ls
ls (1) - list directory contents
1.9.3.apropos
查看配置文件的简述，是做什么的
[root@localhost ~]# apropos yum.conf
yum.conf (5) - Configuration file for yum(8).
1.9.4.–help
命令 –help
所有的命令几乎都有这个选项
[root@localhost ~]# whatis --help

-C, --config-file=FILE use this user configuration file
-L, --locale=LOCALE define the locale for this search
-m, --systems=SYSTEM use manual pages from other systems
-M, --manpath=PATH set search path for manual pages to PATH

[root@localhost ~]#
1.9.5.info
也是帮助信息，和man差不多，只是方式不一样。
1.9.6.help
怎么判断是不是内置命令？
man cd

查看umask内置命令的帮助信息
[root@localhost ~]# 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.
