A brief question on sparse linux documentation for executable programs
I did a survey of the 15,000+ executables on my openSuse Leap v42.3 OS which has about 8869 software packages loaded according to zypper, but 76% of them have no man page at all. I did find dozens of programs running, such as gvfs, which are intrinsic to the OS and some apparently embedded in the kernal, most running under systemctl control, but with no documentation.
For openSuse Leap v42.3, it appears that the linux developers just want the product out the door and have not documented the /etc folder very well.
Should we be concerned that 3/4 of the programs running on a linux OS do not have a man page?
I was a bit surprised to find this rather high ratio. Is it surprising? Randall _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
