    or
    man <section> <program>
  3. Search for the specific feature or option requested
  4. Find configuration file location and syntax
  5. Apply the configuration

Common man page sections

  • man 1 <cmd>
    - User commands

    man 5 sway
    )

    and
    sway(5)
    )
  • Use
    man -k <keyword>
    to search for relevant man pages
  • Pipe man output through

    to find specific options
  • Check "SEE ALSO" section for related documentation
