For pasting the manpage extracts? That's simple. In https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2022/01/msg01055.html Gene quoted "the bottom of /etc/dhcpcd.conf" so I needed to see that file. $ apt-file find /etc/dhcpcd.conf dhcpcd5: /etc/dhcpcd.conf $ Have I got, or ever even seen, package dhcpcd5? Leaving off the 5 in case it's a version number: $ grep -r dhcpcd /home/debian/packages/ ~/pc/configure/out-of-date/dpkg-l-* $ No—never installed it, going back as far as hamm. So, off to https://packages.debian.org/index to get the link, and wget downloads the package into /home/debian/bullseye/dhcpcd5_7.1.0-2+b1_amd64.deb as there's no point in apt-get -d putting it into my cache. (Besides, I'm here sitting at a buster machine.) Then mc opens the .deb file as if it were a local directory. Everything's there: the configuration file itself, and all the docs, including the manpage(s). So why use <https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/dhcpcd5/dhcpcd.conf.5.en.html>? Cheers, David.
