There some misunderstanding from my side on how POSIX manual pages are 'distributed' with Linux man-page project. Here is message posted on this mailing list some time ago. Message from Michael Kerrisk on Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:56:48 +0100: > In 2004, the IEEE and The Open Group decided to grant permission to the > Linux man-pages project to distribute parts of the then-current version > of POSIX.1 in manual page format.

This means that Linux man-page project only distribute standards in forms accessible offline using man command and doesn't edit them. Confusion aside, you can always download Wikipedia pages or in fact any HTML pages using wget or curl command. For ex: $ wget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask You can use a graphical browser like Firefox or a text browser like lynx to view them. For ex: $ lynx Umask.html -- Utkarsh Singh http://utkarshsingh.xyz
