Getting Help¶

Below are suggestions on where you can seek help on CentOS.

Use man and other tools within CentOS¶

The distribution has a full complement of man and info pages. Each package may have additional documentation, which should be considered authoritative. You can see what documentation a package has on your installation by running:

rpm -qd <package name>

You can query additional packages via the DNF package manager. See the dnf man page for more details.
