The ghost command is not a standard utility in mainstream Linux distributions and lacks an official man page in core systems like Ubuntu, Fedora, or Arch Linux. It may refer to niche or third-party tools, such as:

• A custom script or alias in specific environments.
• Legacy imaging tool from Symantec Ghost (primarily DOS/Windows, with limited Linux support for disk cloning).
• Proxy/tunneling utilities like gost (GO Simple Tunnel), sometimes misspelled or aliased as ghost.
• Development tools or packages (e.g., Node.js Ghost blogging CLI wrappers).

No universal syntax or behavior exists. Users attempting which ghost or man ghost typically find nothing unless a package is installed (e.g., via apt install ghost might pull unrelated items). Verify with command -v ghost. For disk imaging, modern alternatives like dd or clonezilla are recommended. Always check package managers or GitHub for context-specific implementations.

Not installed by default; behavior undefined without specific package. Risk of name conflicts with unrelated tools. Obsolete for most imaging tasks; use dd, partclone instead.

Run apt search ghost or yum search ghost to find packages. Source installs common for proxies.

For networking: socat(1), nginx. For imaging: fsarchiver(1).

Origins trace to Symantec Ghost (1995+), a commercial disk imaging tool ported to Linux in early 2000s but discontinued. Modern 'ghost' references often community forks or unrelated proxies (e.g., GOST project since 2018). Rarely maintained in repos.
