The documentation is available in multiple formats, including HTML and PDF on a dedicated Documentation CD-ROM and on the World Wide Web. Printed versions are available through various documentation kits. The overview also details changes to the documentation set for Version 5.1B, including new, revised, and removed manuals, and explains how to access online reference pages (man pages) and other search utilities.
