Who reads manuals?

Should I be disgusted with myself?

Instead of trying the man command to find out how to get the ssh fingerprint, I googled first.

I found this post, and copy/pasted into my command line and it did the trick: one ssh fingerprint in all it's glory. Then I thought a little, and typed in:

man ssh-keygen


Guess what? It gave me the options I needed. Isn't that a welcome surprise? Of course I do know how about the unix online manual options, I have no idea why I Googled first.

Who reads manuals, after all?
