FreeBSD Documentation Release README -*- text -*- $FreeBSD$ This is a collection of documents from the FreeBSD Documentation Project, in a variety of output formats. It includes material from the FreeBSD doc/ tree, as well as (optionally) release documentation for some specific version of FreeBSD. The doc/ subdirectory contains a number of subdirectories with names of the form ., which hold versions of documentation in different languages. Generally, documents are written in American English (en_US.ISO8859-1) and translated to other languages by translation teams. Beneath the language directories, documents may be classified into books or articles. Articles are generally 25 pages or less in length, while books can be any length. Within the books and articles directories are directories for each individual document; each can potentially contain multiple renderings of the document, as described below. Documents are available in a number of formats. Some subset of these formats will be available, depending on how this documentation collection was built. html A single HTML file per document (article.html or book.html, as appropriate, plus images). html-split A collection of smaller, linked HTML files per document (index.html, plus images and secondary files). txt Plain text (article.txt or book.txt, as appropriate). pdf Adobe Portable Document Format, for use with Adobe Acrobat Reader or Ghostscript (article.pdf or book.pdf, as appropriate). ps Postscript (article.ps or book.ps, as appropriate). pdb Palm Pilot database format, for use with the iSilo reader (article.pdb or book.pdb, as appropriate, plus a symbolic link formed by combining the directory name with a ".pdb" extension). For more information, see: http://www.iSilo.com/ rtf Microsoft's Rich Text Format (article.rtf or book.rtf, as appropriate). Page numbers are not automatically updated when loading this format into Microsoft Word. Press CTRL+A, CTRL+END, F9, after loading the document, to update the page numbers. Release documentation, if present, is contained in a src/release/doc directory, and follows similar conventions to those described above. build.txt in the top-level directory gives more information about the particular set of languages and formats contained in this release build. pgpkeyring.txt contains the public PGP/GPG keys of FreeBSD committers, as taken from the English version of the FreeBSD Handbook. This file is suitable for import into a keyring.
