DESCRIPTION         top

       Section 8 of the manual describes commands which either can be or are only
       used by the superuser, like system-administration commands, daemons, and
       hardware-related commands.

       As with the commands in described section 1, the commands described in this
       section terminate with an exit status that indicates whether the command
       succeeded or failed.  See intro(1) for more information.
