INTRO(1)                   OpenBSD Reference Manual                   INTRO(1)

NAME

     intro - introduction to general commands (tools and utilities)

DESCRIPTION

     The manual pages in section one contain most of the commands which
     comprise the BSD user environment.  Some of the commands included in
     section one are text editors, command shell interpreters, searching and
     sorting tools, file manipulation commands, system status commands, remote
     file copy commands, mail commands, compilers and compiler tools,
     formatted output tools, and line printer commands.

     All commands set a status value upon exit which may be tested to see if
     the command completed normally.  The exit values and their meanings are
     explained in the individual manuals.  Traditionally, the value 0
     signifies successful completion of the command.
