I'd like to cite the man page for the iostat
command.
I found the @manual entry. Is this the accepted way of citing Linux man pages?
I've populated the fields below based on what the man page says on my system.
@manual{iostat,
title = "iostat(1) Linux User's Manual",
%author = "",
%organization = "",
%address = "",
%edition = "",
year = "2013",
month = "July",
%note = "",
}
