So, the reason you can't find their man pages is because they don't |
41 |
exist yet. Try `man 8 rc` or `man 8 runscript` instead. |
42 |
|
43 |
If you ever need to read a man page that isn't installed, you can give |
44 |
the path to it locally. So if you clone that repo, you can do: |
45 |
|
46 |
$ man ./man/openrc-run.8 |
47 |
|
48 |
to read it. |
