This comment suggests a new translation of GNU: Google's Not Unix (although it may well be _hosted on_ a Unix variant). Absent some very advanced AI, nothing is "obvious" to a computer :) The "-" character means different things in different environments. When you know what command is needed, the manpage is usually the best reference. Save the search engines for when you _don't_ know which command to use -- and even then you probably should try "man -k" or "apropos" first. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
