What is “whatis what”?
Welcome to Your Linux Guy .com.
Currently, this site is simply a blog-calling-card for me, Jeremy Pavlov, and my consulting and training services. I post what I feel like, when I feel like it, or in response to your questions. I typically publish on the first and third Monday of each month.
You see, I might not be *The* Linux Guy (that domain was already taken), but I want to be *Your* Linux Guy. Or Your NetWare or Novell Guy, etc., etc. Or your technology consultant in general! I specialize in consulting services for all things Linux/Unix, Novell-related, opensource in general, and also offer services in many other related technologies in the Linux/Unix and Directory Services and authentication spheres. Heck, I’ll even push a broom for you if you pay my rate….
By the way, if you’re curious; the command “whatis what” is likely to be a valid command on a linux machine, depending on your distro and the packages installed. The “whatis” tool is used to easily show a description field from a “man” page. The “what” tool is a development tool. Try typing “whatis what” or “whatis man” or “man whatis” or “man what” or “why am i still typing this”.
Warning: If you type “whatis meaningoflife”, you get “meaningoflife: nothing appropriate.” And that’s just sad.
