NAME

     intro -- introduction to system maintenance procedures and commands

DESCRIPTION

     This section contains information related to system operation and maintenance.

     It describes commands used to create new file systems (newfs(8)), verify the integrity of the file systems (fsck(8)), control disk usage
     (edquota(8)), maintain system backups (dump(8)), and recover files when disks die an untimely death (restore(8)).	Network related services
     like inetd(8) and ftpd(8) are also described.

     A number of pages in this section describe general system management topics. For example, the diskless(8) page describes how to boot a system
     over a network, and the compat_linux(8) page describes how to run Linux binaries on NetBSD architectures that support it.

NAME

     intro -- introduction to general commands (tools and utilities)

DESCRIPTION

     Section one of the manual contains most of the commands which comprise the BSD user environment.  Some of the commands included in section
     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, formatted 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.
