      Back in the dim and distant past, when I first studied CS, we were literally told to run that as one of the first commands we tried. It’s an excellent place to start if you have the time to learn unix/linux thoroughly.

        I should probably read that. TBH I’ve been piping longer manpages into a text editor, and I definitely don’t want to do that when I haven’t installed my text editor of choice for whatever reason (I hear sometimes you just don’t have sudo rights when you’re working on someone else’s system).
