NAME

       intro - Introduction to system maintenance and operation commands

DESCRIPTION

       This  section contains information related to system operation and maintenance.	In particular, commands (such as newfs) used to create new
       file systems and commands (such as fsck, icheck, and ncheck) used to verify the integrity of the file systems are described here.

       Some reference pages in this section may contain suffixes to allow their files to exist with those of other reference pages having the same
       base  name  and section number. When used, suffixes are made up of one to four letters.	See the man(1) reference page for more information
       on suffixes.

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 ftpd(8) are also described.

     All commands set an exit status.  Its value may be tested to see if the command completed normally.  Unless otherwise noted (rare), the value
     0 signifies successful completion of the command, while a value >0 indicates an error.  Some commands attempt to describe the nature of the
     failure by using error codes defined in sysexits(3), or set the status to arbitrary values >0 (typically 1), but many such values are not
     described in the manual.

HISTORY

     The intro section manual page appeared in 4.2BSD.
