## Man pages | ||
Osh.1 is a ["man" page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_page) written using the ['mdoc'](http://mandoc.bsd.lv/man/mdoc.7.html) macro language for the troff (groff) formatter. | ||
Osh.1 is viewable with the `man` or `mandoc` commands by typing (in the doc directory) `man ./osh`. | ||
