# UNIX-Handbücher

Mac OS X makes use of several hundred Unix commands. These commands are accessible in the Terminal and are very well documented in the Manuals. The Unix Utilities panel > man allows you to format and display these manual pages.

## To display a "man" page:

Click on the Utilities icon in the Toolbar and select the Manuals tab.

Select the name of the command desired in the list at left or type the name of the command in the search field.

Click the "Show" button.

To convert the man page to PDF and open it automatically with Preview, click the "Create PDF" button.

The "Rebuild" button allows you to update the whatis.db database, located in the /usr/share/man/ folder used by the "whatis", "apropos" and "man" commands.
