The  Software Tools on-line documentation is divided into several
sections.  The standard manual  sections  contain  the  following
information:

1 Writeups on the utilities available in the system (e.g. ed)
2 Writeups  on  the  virtual  machine  system  calls available to
  ratfor programmers. 
3 Writeups on library routines available to ratfor programmers. 
4 Primers on some of the more heavily used utilities. 

In  addition,  other  site-dependent  manual  sections   may   be
maintained by your system manager. 

Three  utilities are currently available for perusing the on-line
documentation: intro, apropos and man.  Specific information  can
be  obtained  on  each of these utilities by performing a command
of the form:

man NAME

where NAME is replaced by intro, apropos or man.
