The man 2 chmod command doesn't seem to work on my system: [fred@athbox-f18 ~]$ uname -r 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 [fred@athbox-f18 ~]$ man 2 chmod No manual entry for chmod in section 2

On my system, the corresponding file (/usr/share/man/man2/chmod.2.gz) is provided by the 'man-pages' package. Do you have it installed? Nalin

You can specify the section number first, like so: man 2 chmod Cheers, Nalin

The man 2 chmod command doesn't seem to work on my system: [fred@athbox-f18 ~]$ uname -r 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 [fred@athbox-f18 ~]$ man 2 chmod No manual entry for chmod in section 2 but, this info at the end of the regular 'man chmod' man page does: SEE ALSO chmod(2) The full documentation for chmod is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and chmod programs are properly installed at your site, the command info coreutils 'chmod invocation' should give you access to the complete manual.
