I dont enjoy web searching every time. Id like to just have some sort of document I can read or search to find certain commands.
I do have the man pages on kiwix but is a little complex to navigate. Like if I want to learn how grep works, what’s the best way. Or if I forgot lshw, how do you go about looking up a command that does a certain thing like list out hardware etc.
Showing examples would be super helpful too, like “here’s a typical dd command for a drive image clone”
Preferably a desktop/android app or something that helps with this would be nice.
Does nobody use info?
So much more in depth than any manpage.
Granted it doesn’t contain every app installed, but it gives very detailed and very verbose explanations, examplea, options, use cases, caveats, warnings, etc, for all of the most essential commands and functions
$ infoIn the program these are basic commands :
-I # sets searching to always case insensitive -very necessary (upper case I)/ # search for patternn # search forward N # search backYou can also search from command line using
Info -k [pattern]
