I want to save the man information of "tar" .so I used the command " man tar >tar.txt"
but when I opened the file using "vi tar.txt"
it can't be read anymore .it looks as following :
TAR(1) TAR(1)
N^HNA^HAM^HME^HE
tar - The GNU version of the tar archiving utility
man tar | col -b > tar.txt
It used to be the case that this was a lot quicker than re-formatting the page every time, but it's not even worth caching the text form of man pages on my old P133.
You might also find "man -t tar" useful -- that produces a postscript version of the man page which looks nice when you print it (usually :-)).
