Accessing man pages withnumbers after them.

[Dan Radu Dragomir]

Not entirely true,

For example on my ubuntu box if i type man pipe i end up with the 
postfix pipe manual by default. though if i use man 7 pipe the "pipe - 
overview of pipes and FIFOs" comes out.

So, no offence but i think Nils's option would be better. :)

Regards,

Dan
