UNIX -finding docmuntation


Almost every program written for Linux has a man page.
info pages tend to be more verbose than man pages and are hyperlinked.

#man <command-name>
#info <command-name>
you will get all details of the options that can be used with that command.

ex:
#man ls

for finding the command having a particular keyword  in unix ,you can use
$ man -k listing
$ apropos listing
