And, IMO, the OpenBSD man pages are some of the best
technical references anywhere, ever.  They are on-par
with the IBM 368-370 Assembly Language Reference Manual
from the 1970's.

Sadly well written reference material requires the
ability to read.  Information is not repeated and
anything missed or mis-understood when first read
will cause endless confusion.  Anyone not familiar
with the material must read with care, and re-read.
Those who do so will be rewarded with full understanding.

Alternately, a plethora of advice is available from
random strangers on the Internet....
