<h3>Read man pages for other systems</h3>
<p>
- Get man pages for as many other UNIX systems (including past and
- current versions) as you can find.
- Check those man pages to see
- what differences there are from Linux.
- They'll also provide ideas
- about topics that should be covered in corresponding Linux man pages.
- Don't violate copyrights by copying text from man pages
- whose licenses prohibit re-use.
+ It can be useful to check the manual pages from other UNIX
+ systems to see what differences there are from Linux.
+ The FreeBSD project website displays manual pages for a
+ range of UNIX implementations; look
+ <a href="https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi">here</a>.
