<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
