I'd say (a). Manual pages are typically documentation for specific commands. That's not so say that you might not *also* write an x-package.7 manpage describing the system as a whole, if the package contains several binaries, and especially if it has it's own conceptual space. See debhelper(7) and dpatch(7) for examples. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
