# Installing Man-pages

## Installation of Man-pages

Install Man-pages by running the following command:

> `patch -Np1 -i ../man-pages-1.38.patch &&`
> `make install`

## Command explanations

`patch -Np1 -i ../man-pages-1.38.patch`: We patch the man-pages package to include three important missing pages: `ldd`'s, and `ld.so`'s

## Contents

The Man-pages package contains various manual pages that don't come with the packages.

## Description

Examples of provided manual pages are the manual pages describing all the C and C++ functions, few important /dev/ files and more.
