Help - Lemmy.world

If there is a well written manual or a wiki im fine with using terminal programs.
But ofc, there’s always no documentation available other than a man page.
If you have a problem with man pages, you have a bigger problem.
I have no problems with small man pages. My problems with manpages arise when a command has hundreds of arguments and I need to find a very specific combination.
Searching helps. Open a man pages, press forward slash, type your arg, press Enter. Press “n” to get to the next hit or Shift+n to go to the previous.

This github.com/dbrgn/tealdeer is handy to have and can condense the info down quite a bit in a lot of cases.

(Tealdeer is a play on the original utility’s name tldr)
