BSM Man Pages

B

BSM brings a number of additional utilities to Solaris. The utilities are listed here in four sections, each of which has a table below. Each table gives utility names and a short description of the task performed by each utility. The sections are identified by the man page suffix. An example is allocate(1M), which has a man page section identification of 1M.
