Notes:

Or, you could use the “ info ” command:

$ info

info Displays online documentation about the target.

In the examples above, substitute 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.
