• Question: What Software Holds The Man Page Record?

    I like man pages. But some packages seem to overdo it.

    AFAIK, the openssl package contains the most man pages.
    On my incomparable Gentoo system openssl has installed
    6,499 man pages, but since my package has been customized
    it may exclude many more pages.

    6,499 man pages! Give me a fucking break.

    Many of these man pages probably could be combined into
    a single page.

    But that's GNU/Linux. It does not ever spare nor suppress
    the critical details.
