INTRO(1) BSD Reference Manual INTRO(1)NAMEintro - introduction to general commands (tools and utilities)
DESCRIPTION
The manual pages in section one contain most of the commands which
comprise the BSD user environment. Some of the commands included in sec-
tion 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, format-
ted 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.
