DESCRIPTION top

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

   As with the commands described in Section 1, the commands
   described in this section terminate with an exit status that
   indicates whether the command succeeded or failed.  See [intro(1)](../man1/intro.1.html)
