a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into
the Berkeley airport through thick fog with less than 10 miles
visibility when his instruments went out.
He began circling around looking for a landmark. Finally, a small
opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with a guy
working alone on the fifth floor. He banks the plane around, rolls
down the window and shouts to the guy, "Hey where am I?"
The man replies, "You're in an airplane." The pilot rolls up the
window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to perform a
perfect blind landing on the airport runway 5 miles away. Just as
the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.
The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it.
"Quite easy," replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building
a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct
but absolutely useless, therefore, that must be NetBSD's
support office and from there the airport is just five miles due
East." (Credits:

is for without forcing them to Google or read another manpage.

other operations on files and directories.
