The 'man' command is used to read the man pages (or manual pages). It's basically an interface to read the instruction manuals for specific commands.

• Display the man page for a specific command: man command

• Display the man page for a command from a specific section (ex: section 7): man 7 command

• Lookup man pages referenced by 'command' and print a short description: man -f command (SAME AS: whatis command)

• Open the man page for a command in a browser: man --html=browser_name command

• Open the man page for a command in a browser using $BROWSER variable if set: man --html=$BROWSER command

• Display the location of a man page rather than the man page itself: man -w command

• Search for man pages containing a search string: man -k "string"

• Display the man page using a specific locale (such as 'us' or 'de', etc.): man --locale locale command

• Specify which PAGER you want to use to view a man page: man -P less command (uses 'less' as the PAGER) man -P more command (uses 'more' as the PAGER) man -P 'nvim +Man!' command (uses 'nvim' as the PAGER)
