NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     intro - introduction to general commands (tools  and  utilities)

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The manual pages in section one contain most of the commands
which comprise
 the BSD user environment.  Some of  the  commands  included in section
     one  are text editors, command shell interpreters, searching
and sorting
     tools, file manipulation commands, system  status  commands,
remote file
     copy  commands, mail commands, compilers and compiler tools,
formatted
     output tools, and line printer commands.

     All commands set a status value upon exit which may be tested to see if
     the  command  completed normally.  The exit values and their
meanings are
     explained in the  individual  manuals.   Traditionally,  the
value 0 signifies
 successful completion of the command.
