# `undocumented-manual-page`

Symbolic links to the undocumented(7) manual page may be provided if no manual page is available, but that is deprecated.

The lack of a manual page is still a bug, and if at all possible you should write one yourself.

For help with writing manual pages, refer to the Man-Page-HOWTO, the examples created by `dh_make`, or the `/usr/share/doc/man-db/examples` directory. If the package provides `--help` output, you might want to use the `help2man` utility to generate a simple manual page.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `link-to-undocumented-manpage`
