Docs packages in Ubuntu; How to read them?

[ZDemon]

Hi guys,

I was wondering how to read the doc packages in Ubuntu. Installing them is easy, but where are they and how do i read them. Im particularly interested in the openssl-doc package.

They usually install things into /usr/share/doc

man openssl

Here you can see which files are included in the package openssl-doc:

Yeah, they are there.

But why are the formats so different from each other? Arent they all supposed to be in the same format?

The openssl developement docs are in .pod format. I have no idea how to read it.
