Mac already comes with its own manual pages. If you are programming on
a Mac, reading the Linux manual pages can be misleading.
Also, since Mac uses a case-insensitive file system by default, you'll
find problems when downloading the Linux man-pages, since there are a
few clashes:
man2/_Exit.2
man2/_exit.2
man3/NAN.3
man3/nan.3
Cheers,
Alex
