37 .Nd introduction to general commands (tools and utilities)
39 Section one of the manual contains most of the commands
43 Some of the commands included in section one are
44 text editors, command shell interpreters,
45 searching and sorting tools,
46 file manipulation commands,
47 system status commands,
48 remote file copy commands, mail commands,
49 compilers and compiler tools,
50 formatted output tools,
51 and line printer commands.

54 to see if the command completed normally.
55 The exit values and their meanings are explained in the individual
56 manuals. Traditionally, the value 0 signifies successful
57 completion of the command.
