The manual has to assume quite a bit of stuff, like it assumes that you know what a file is and what a directory is. It has to draw the line somewhere as to what should be prior knowledge. It would be a massive manual indeed if it had to cover everything from installing an OS to compiling php. > More questions/comments about this stuff: > > If the manual says fdftk.h is a header file, why it should be in the > includes directory as opposed to the headers directory? > > If libfdftk.so goes into the lib directory, it should be called > libfdftk.lib! Whats the meaning of .so? Standard Object? The php manual isn't meant to be a tutorial on how to use a computer/OS/compiler/whatever. For that there are better and more appropriate resources available. > Where is the unpacked distribution directory?
