Man pages gone?

Hello Guys

Does someone know where the man pages are moved to?

Every Man page says:

Sorry, that page cannot be found.

Try searching below or go to developer.apple.com.

The operating system (com.apple.pkg.Essentials) installs the man pages into /usr/share/man. Package managers (e.g. homebrew) install manual pages into /usr/local/share/man. These are accessible via the Terminal application. see man(1).

Legacy? (OS X is still "Built on UNIX").

How much longer till Apple decides to rename OS X to iOSX and remove Terminal? 😠

It is deemed “legacy” because the link points to OS X 10.9 man pages.

As VikingOSX said, Apple has not updated these pages from Mavericks, so, Apple move these links to legacy.

Maybe Apple will add new pages online later, or not.
