INTRO(1)		    General Commands Manual		      INTRO(1)

NAME
       intro --	introduction to	general	commands (tools	and utilities)

DESCRIPTION
       Section	one of the manual contains most	of the commands	which comprise
       the BSD user environment.  Some of the commands included	in section one
       are text	editors, command shell	interpreters,  searching  and  sorting
       tools,  file manipulation commands, system status commands, remote file
       copy commands, mail commands, compilers and compiler  tools,  formatted
       output tools, and line printer commands.

       All commands set	a status value upon exit which may be tested to	see if
       the  command  completed normally.  Traditionally, the value 0 signifies
       successful completion of	the command, while a value >0 indicates	an er-
       ror.  Some commands attempt to describe the nature of  the  failure  by
       using exit codes	as defined in sysexits(3), while others	simply set the
       status to an arbitrary value >0 (typically 1).
