Name
	Linux man-pages - manual pages for GNU+Linux

Synopsis
	This package contains GNU+Linux manual pages for sections 1
	through 8.

Description
	The manual pages in this project document primarily the Linux
	kernel and the GNU C library, but also consider relevant

	commands that are not documented in other packages, and there are
	a few pages in sections 5 and 8 for the timezone utilities.
