This manpage also references to set(1), alias(1), but these pages are hard links to csh(1). Therefore these Xr's will be removed.

After partial review I see that we missing lot of manpages.

I'm suggesting to close it. -Max State Changed From-To: open->closed Outdated, and superseeded by doc people work. |
