Operation Manual

The Linux Command Line
154
Notes:
Or, you could use the “info” command:
$ info <command>
info
Displays online documentation about the target.
In the examples above, substitute <command> with the command you want to
find out more about. A word of warning: the guidance given by “man” is sometimes
a bit formal and very, very detailed. You could almost say, “If you think you know
a command then go to the command’s man page in order to find out that you
don’t really.”
To find out more about Bash, take a look at its Wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_%28Unix_shell%29
Typing “man apt-get”
into the command line
returned all this information
on the “apt-get” command
and how to use it.
“Man” is short for manual.
