Template:Manpage

Description

Link to an online manual page of the Debian manual pages repository.

A potential further improvement would be to specify a direct URL of the manpage located on a site other than Debian's as it's likely a manpage we need exists elsewhere.

Usage

{{manpage|name=example|section=1}}
{{manpage|name=example|section=5|lang=fr|chapter=Example}}
{{manpage|name=example|section=8|suite=Example}}

Examples

{{manpage|name=ls|section=1}}

ls(1)

{{manpage|name=ls|section=1|lang=fr}}

ls(1)

{{manpage|binarypackage=coreutils|name=ls|section=1}}

ls(1)

{{manpage|name=apt|section=8|chapter=DIAGNOSTICS}}

apt(8)#DIAGNOSTICS
