Get a manual about options to apt install












0















I read the answer wireless - How can I check the information of currently installed WiFi drivers? - Ask Ubuntu and learn a command



sudo apt-get install -y hardinfo 


then I try to refer to install to check option `-y'



me@alpha:~$ man apt-get | grep '-y'
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try 'grep --help' for more information.
me@alpha:~$ man apt | grep '-y'
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try 'grep --help' for more information.
me@alpha:~$ man install | grep '-y'
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try 'grep --help' for more information.
me@alpha:~$ man 'apt install'
No manual entry for apt install


How could I get a manual about options to install?

          The command is actually apt, not install. The man pages can be viewed by



          man apt



          and



          man apt-get



          In this specific case, sudo apt install <program-name> asks you if you really want to install before it proceeds. The -y option prevents apt from asking if you want to install - it assumes "yes"
