Want to get to the real source of truth for your system? Do `ls /usr/share/man/man1/`[1] to list the commands, and then use `man 1 $command`
The manpage is opened with your $PAGER, so you can use your favourite search and navigation commands.
Ideally your system has a `man 1 intro` to guide you to things.
