I'm always pleasantly surprised that many man pages do have examples. But, sure, they could be a lot more comprehensive.


I've developed the habit of checking the end of the page, because that's where the examples are, when there are any.


PHP documentation stands out with the comment section, like an integrated stack overflow, with examples and gotchas. It's what made PHP great.
