hear => forget see => remember do => understand And the manpages, while of admirable quality in OpenBSD, are largely written for people who already understand (or aren't far off) and just need a quick reference. For many things they don't go into the details of 'why' Someone who really, really wants to understand things will look at the source code. eg. if I was sufficiently deranged to want to know the guts of UNIX terminal IO, I might look at tmux John
