On the topic of hidden gems. The info directory is frequently populated by default with manuals when you install a piece of software. These tend to be more in-depth and complete manuals then the man pages for the same tool. Just type `info` in a terminal and be amazed. Emacs has a convenient info viewer also, under `C-h i`.
- tingletech 4y agousually `info` only works on a GNU derived OS. `man -k` has worked on every flavor of unix I've met. edit: `man -k ''` might be a GNUism too. Just tried on a BSD derived OS and got back nothing.
