Man page is the short form for "manual page" found in software documentation on a Linux, UNIX and other Unix-like operating system. Man page topics include small computer programs (including linux commands, library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and abstract computing concepts. A computer user invokes the man page by issuing the "man" command and the name of the program, concept, standard or command.
