Chapter 16. Documentation (Topic 1.108)
As a system administrator, your ability to navigate through daily computing tasks depends on your access to documentation . It is appropriate then that the LPI has made Linux documentation a part of Exam 102. There are three Objectives for this Topic:
- Objective 1: Use and Manage Local System Documentation
This Objective covers two primary areas of documentation on Linux systems: the man (manual) facility and files stored in /usr/share/doc. Weight: 4.
- Objective 2: Find Linux Documentation on the Internet
Just as Linux itself is available via the Internet, a variety of documentation is also available. Weight: 3.
- Objective 5: Notify Users on System-related Issues
As a system administrator, you'll regularly have to take responsibility to interact with users and keep them informed of scheduled downtimes, system upgrades, or new features. Such information is easily provided systemwide through the use of /etc/motd and /etc/issue. Weight: 1.
