Manual pages sections
Almost all UNIX operating systems have voluminous documentation known as manual pages. Every page is a document. If one wants to read a page then the command man at a shell prompt will show the manual, for example, "man ftp". Pages are referred by using the notation "name(manual-section)", for example time(1).

DESCRIPTION

Section 8 of the manual describes commands which either can be or are only used by the superuser, like system-administration commands, daemons, and hardware-related commands.

As with the commands in described section 1, the commands described in this section terminate with an exit status that indicates whether the command succeeded or failed. See intro (1) for more information.
