This is peculiar. I recently installed an operating system called "Semplice" Linux. It's debian based and very similar to Crunchbang (Lightweight and openbox-oriented).
That aside, I cannot run man printf
or any C command for that matter.
I can, however, run man echo
and man cat
and other linux commands, but no C commands.
I have already run: mandb
to no avail.
Note: I did not have to manually install C (build-essential or libc6 or anything).
The 'manpages-dev' package should contain the man pages for C. I have not used semplice, but that is the package name on other debian based systems.
