Hello @stay

As mentioned in the lesson, man pages or manual pages are the original form of documentation that exist on UNIX systems. For instance, if you want to read more about fork, you can find the detailed documentation here. Similarly, for exec, you can find detailed documentation here.

It should be noted that the numbers as in exec(3) or fork(2) correspond to what section of the manual the page is from.

This is the main link to the man page.

Hope this helps!
