I don't think those would be wise additions to a manual.
Example(s):
pacman -S package - install a package
And stuff like the above are a waste over what is already obvious from
the manual anyway.
The downgrade one..you could probably forget about it as well. The
only helpful example with regards to usage would be nested commands
which not everyone is aware of, I would guess:
pacman -S package1-{foo,bar1-{one,two}}
But, good examples are good examples, if you can come up with them :)

The first thing that came to my mind is: How to use makepkg correctly (Running it for pacman-git's PKGCONFIG results in ==> ERROR: Install file (pacman.install) does not exist.) How to install a package from a file One finds this on the wiki, but I would prefer to have it available offline How to upgrade your system How to remove a package How to downgrade a package That's not much for now, but having examples gives a better and faster insight into the application (git devs did that pretty good).

[pacman-dev] Examples in the manpages
Dear pacman-devs, after a funny replace pacman-with-pacman-git evening, I digged around a bit into makepkg and pacman and noticed there are no examples in the manpages. Is that intented or would you like to/accept patches which add the EXAMPLES section?

I looked at the files that I sent to pacman-dev and did not see anything wrong. If you can show this problem, thank you, so I can correct this problem and send files again. Regards, Leandro Inácio
