If you're not doing it already, you should get into the habit of consulting man pages before searching anywhere else. Unix-style man pages are an excellent source of documentation. There's even a man page for the man command itself: YES YES YES. It's how I learned my way around Unix back in SunOS days. I literally started with "man intro" and worked my way out from there. Sun's documentation was _excellent_. Sadly, Linux and even BSD man pages are more hit or miss compared to Sun's documentation. But they are still a great place to start.
