Oh, dear!

Someone’s given you a bum link, or maybe you mistyped part of a URL. Or maybe I screwed something up. There are basically four things you can do:

  1. Look over in the sidebar and see if what you’re looking for is in the list of recent posts.
  2. Use the search field in the sidebar to hunt for a word or phrase you think is in the post you’re looking for.
  3. Go to the archive page and scroll through the post titles.
  4. Go to the main page. This probably won’t help at all, but it’ll give me another pageview.

One last thing: If you clicked on a man page link and ended up here, it’s probably because macOS doesn't include that man page. This can be true even when another man page refers to it. I find this very frustrating, but there’s little I can do about. You’d run into the same problem if you were using the man command on your Mac.
