Many of the commands introduced in this chapter have more options than were listed. The find command, for example, has many other options for specifying the type of file you are searching for. The UNIX man (manual) pages describe the commands in more detail, including all of these options. Chapter 2 explains how to use the UNIX man pages. You can also find man pages on the web. One useful site, which includes many UNIX variants, is

FreeBSD Hypertext Man Pages: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi

This book includes a command reference similar in style to the man pages:
