    I’ve never heard that pointer bullshit at all. Can you link it?

    “Man” for “manual” is just an antiquated term kept around by Unix curmudgeons. “Help” is much better as it requires no explanation and conveniently is automatically abbreviated to its full name. It’s the common term used in most other systems that aren’t linux.

    'Man" isn’t sexist, it just sucks.
