Thread: man export - no man pages, how come?

hello,

why there no man pages export in ubuntu? maybe there are, , turned off or something? specifically, how come result:

code:

/home/jzacsh$ man export  no manual entry export

yet here's proof there *is* indeed man page it:
http://public.research.att.com/~gsf/...n1/export.html

curious wondering if there's specific reason (couldn't find googling: site:ubuntuforums.org "man export").

export shell builtin (i.e. it's part of shell - bash) therefore has no man page.

find info on bash command export run

code:

help export

to find out if program shell builtin or standalone program run

code:

type export

code:

type tar

if you've not run tar before in current shell give it's location, if has run tar before tell it's hashed (not sure means)

hope helps
