Every workstation has manual pages (man pages, for short) that you can read. The command man is used to browse these pages. To look for a page by keyword, use:
man -k keyword
where keyword would be the term you are searching for. This command will display a list of commands whose man pages contain the keyword you want. To read a particular man page, do:
man command
where command is the name of the command whose man page you want to read.
