这篇文章主要讲解了“Linux 中的 Manual 手册分析”，文中的讲解内容简单清晰，易于学习与理解，下面请大家跟着丸趣 TV 小编的思路慢慢深入，一起来研究和学习“Linux 中的 Manual 手册分析”吧！
当今可能我们很多人已经不频繁使用 man 命令了，取而代之的是更加友好简单的 tldr。
$ tldr du |head du Disk usage: estimate and summarize file and directory space usage. - List the sizes of a directory and any subdirectories, in the given unit (B/KB/MB): du -{{b|k|m}} {{path/to/directory}} - List the sizes of a directory and any subdirectories, in human-readable form (i.e. auto-selecting the appropriate unit for each size): du -h {{path/to/directory}}r - Show the size of a single directory, in human readable units:然而，man 命令始终是我个人的最爱。每当心情低落时候，我就会中用 man 命令信步由缰的做各种查询。从中慢慢获得秩序感，全局的掌控感，低落的心情也慢慢疗愈。
man 命令让我们与计算机对话沟通，又仿佛促使我们与计算机融为一体，人机合一。
1.man 的 9 个章节
man 可能是唯一一个可以自我陈述的命令。我们先从最直觉的使用方法开始。
man man 
从结果中，我们看到 Manual 手册共分为 9 个章节 (sections)。似乎有点多，我们将归类为 4 个部分。
前三项是 commands(shell-commands, system-calls,libraries)
接着是 files(special-file,file-format)
然后是 Miscellaneous, Game 也放在这里
最后是 System(Administation,Kernel)
2. 存放地址
Linux 系统中一切皆为文件，我们首先感兴趣的是，这些 manual 手册存放在哪里。根据前文 帮你精通 Linux：透彻解析 Linux 的目录树结构 可以简单推测，
配置文件在 /etc/ 目录下，具体则为 /etc/manpath.config;
变量文件在 /var/ 目录下，具体则为 /var/cache/man/index.(bt|db|dir|pag)
/etc 和 /var 是 linux 系统下的最重要的两个目录。
man 文件本身存储在 /usr/share 目录下，/usr/share/man
如何查看特定命令的存储位置呢? 需要 - w 选项 (对应长选项 –where)
$ man -w time /usr/share/man/man1/time.1.gz加上选 -a(对应 –all) 则能查到 time 在所有章节中的位置。
$ man -aw time /usr/share/man/man1/time.1.gz /usr/share/man/man2/time.2.gz /usr/share/man/man7/time.7.gz从结果中看到，在 man1(shell commands), man2(system calls) 和 man7(Miscellaneous) 中都有 time 这个命令。
作为补充，我们也可以用 - f 选项查看命令所属的 sections。
$ man -f man man (7) - macros to format man pages man (1) - an interface to the on-line reference manuals $ man -f time time (7) - overview of time and timers time (1) - run programs and summarize system resource usage time (2) - get time in seconds
此处的 -f 等价于 –whatis
whatis (1) – display one-line manual page descriptions
3. 指定查询章节
从 -w 选项中看到了命令的地址，便可以指定章节查询。
whatis (1) - display one-line manual page descriptions
man 7 time
4. 正则查询
man 命令最有意思的就是正则查询，心情不好的时候，可以玩上一整天。
从正则查询中，能够获得对全局的掌控感，比如查询 systemd 有多少个命令：
$ man -k ^systemd |nl |tail 158 systemd.service (5) - Service unit configuration 159 systemd.slice (5) - Slice unit configuration 160 systemd.socket (5) - Socket unit configuration 161 systemd.special (7) - Special systemd units 162 systemd.swap (5) - Swap unit configuration 163 systemd.syntax (7) - General syntax of systemd configuration files 164 systemd.target (5) - Target unit configuration 165 systemd.time (7) - Time and date specifications 166 systemd.timer (5) - Timer unit configuration 167 systemd.unit (5) - Unit configuration从结果中国马上获知 167 这个结果。
或者查询有多少与 calendar 相关的命令：
$ man -k calendar |nl 1 cal (1) - displays a calendar and the date of Easter 2 calendar (1) - reminder service 3 ncal (1) - displays a calendar and the date of Easter又或者查询全部的 ls 命令：
$ man -k ^ls |nl 1 ls (1) - list directory contents 2 lsar (1) - list archive file contents 3 lsattr (1) - list file attributes on a Linux second extended file system 4 lsb_release (1) - print distribution-specific information 5 lsblk (8) - list block devices 6 lscpu (1) - display information about the CPU architecture 7 lsearch (3) - linear search of an array 8 lseek (2) - reposition read/write file offset 9 lseek64 (3) - reposition 64-bit read/write file offset 10 lsetxattr (2) - set an extended attribute value 11 lshw (1) - list hardware 12 lsinitramfs (8) - list content of an initramfs image 13 lsipc (1) - show information on IPC facilities currently employed in ... 14 lslocks (8) - list local system locks 15 lslogins (1) - display information about known users in the system 16 lsmem (1) - list the ranges of available memory with their online status 17 lsmod (8) - Show the status of modules in the Linux Kernel 18 lsns (8) - list namespaces 19 lsof (8) - list open files 20 lspci (8) - list all PCI devices 21 lspcmcia (8) - display extended PCMCIA debugging information 22 lspgpot (1) - extracts the ownertrust values from PGP keyrings and list... 23 lstat (2) - get file status 24 lstat64 (2) - get file status 25 lsusb (8) - list USB devices5. 全局掌控
文章开头就介绍过 section 2 中是 system-calls 命令。我们不免心生好奇，哪些是 system-calls 呢?
$ man -s 2 -k . |nl |tail 484 vm86old (2) - enter virtual 8086 mode 485 vmsplice (2) - splice user pages to/from a pipe 486 vserver (2) - unimplemented system calls 487 wait (2) - wait for process to change state 488 wait3 (2) - wait for process to change state, BSD style 489 wait4 (2) - wait for process to change state, BSD style 490 waitid (2) - wait for process to change state 491 waitpid (2) - wait for process to change state 492 write (2) - write to a file descriptor 493 writev (2) - read or write data into multiple buffers由上可知，系统中共有 493 个 system-calls。我们分析下这一行命令：
man -s 2 -k .短选代表的是长选项 –section，-k 是 keyword，等价于 apropos 命令，最后的 dot 点 乃是正则表达式里的任意字符的表达方式。
于是，仅仅通过上面的简单命令获得对整个文档乃至整台计算机，整个计算机科学的全局掌控感。我们迅速掠览一遍这 9 个 sections。
Section 1 Shell Commands 系统命令：
$ man -s 1 -k . |nl| tail -n 5 2451 zless (1) - file perusal filter for crt viewing of compressed text 2452 zlib_decompress (1) - decompress mysqlpump ZLIB-compressed output 2453 zmore (1) - file perusal filter for crt viewing of compressed text 2454 znew (1) - recompress .Z files to .gz files 2455 zsoelim (1) - satisfy .so requests in roff inputSection 2 Syetem Calls 系统调用

➜ ~ man -s 9 -k . vmxnet (9) - vmware kernel module掌控全局还有另外一种方法，就是 intro 命令：
$ man -f intro intro (8) - introduction to administration and privileged commands intro (7) - introduction to overview and miscellany section intro (3) - introduction to library functions intro (4) - introduction to special files intro (1) - introduction to user commands intro (5) - introduction to file formats and filesystems intro (6) - introduction to games intro (2) - introduction to system calls我们看到每个 section 都有一个 intro。
比如我们查看 section 2 的 intro：
6. 游戏
man 命令有良好的疗愈功效，不妨来看看 Kubuntu 自带的四个游戏。
$ man -s 6 -k . |nl 1 intro (6) - introduction to games 2 kmahjongg (6) - Mahjongg game for KDE 3 (6) - KDE mine sweeper game 4 kpat (6) - A highly addictive card game. 5 ksudoku (6) - KDE Sudoku games感谢各位的阅读，以上就是“Linux 中的 Manual 手册分析”的内容了，经过本文的学习后，相信大家对 Linux 中的 Manual 手册分析这一问题有了更深刻的体会，具体使用情况还需要大家实践验证。这里是丸趣 TV，丸趣 TV 小编将为大家推送更多相关知识点的文章，欢迎关注！
