Manual

These are the 17 manual pages installed on the operator image under /share/man. Start with intro(1) and afterboot(8).

MILESTONE-QUALIFIED Rendered when this site is built from the unmodified mdoc(7) sources at milestone/general-usability-qemu-20260927 (platform ff025b1), with GNU groff version 1.23.0 and the arguments the image build uses (-mdoc -Tascii -P-cbou -rHY=0 -dAD=l). The text is what man prints in an ABSD session; only cross-references are turned into links. The pages describe the qualified QEMU system and label what is not provided. There are no per-command pages beyond date and uptime yet.

Read the pages as dated 2026-09-27. Their build commands and their references to files "in the kernel repository" or "in the platform repository" point into private sources and cannot be followed yet. Later work, including the first boots on a physical machine and the release's lower connection limit, is on the status page, not here. One known error: e1000(4) says the network address is compiled in; network.conf(5) is correct.
