It means you typed:
man shot
Which is understood by your shell as: "Get me the man pages for the command or file shot"
Of course the shell finds nothing and so replies:
" no manual entry for shot"

'man <anything>' displays the man page (=manual) for a command, which is independent of the file containing the commands to run.

Use this:
Code:
> chmod u+x shot
> ./shot
