FWIW, they are not on different levels. In fact, the operator tables are
identical; the only difference is that the one on linux.die.net is badly
formatted.
In general, I would recommend avoiding linux.die.net. Their manpages are
often out-of-date, but you can't easily tell, because they removed
version information.
