<h2>Documentation</h2>
<p>In this section we provide documentation upon basic and general understanding
of smartmontools. Have a look on the <a href="faq.html">FAQ Page</a> too,
where you find information concerning more specific issues.</p>

<h3><a name="man-pages"></a>Smartmontools manual pages</h3>
<p>If you are having trouble understanding the output of smartctl
or smartd, please first read the manual pages installed on your
system:</p>

<p class="code">
man 8 smartctl<br />
man 8 smartd<br />
man 5 smartd.conf</p>

<p>Here are on-line versions of the smartmontools man pages:</p>
<ul class="Square">
    <li><a href="man/smartctl.8.html">smartctl manual page</a></li>
    <li><a href="man/smartd.8.html">smartd manual page</a></li>
    <li><a href="man/smartd.conf.5.html">smartd.conf manual page</a></li>
</ul>

<p>Note that these are the manual pages for the <strong><em>current version</em></strong>
of smartmontools in the developers CVS repository; they might not
correspond to the (possibly older) version of smartmontools installed
    on <em>your</em> system.  So the manual pages installed on your system
should be regarded as definitive for your installation.</p>
