A lifesaver linux command that will help you a lot!
Something that happens a lot to linux users, or especially begginer users or anyone who is new and trying to learn linux, is forgetting the commands arguments and parameters or how to apply them, in this article, i'll show you a command that will save you in almost all the cases!
The command that i'll be talking about is "man", and it may not seems obvious but it literally shows what is similar to a user manual for every single command in linux, well maybe you have heard of --help but i find man to be more helpful, as it shows the description of the command, and all the parameters with all the details, and short descriptions on what they do!
to use the command, just type man and the command you want help with next as in the following example : man <command>
you can see an example on how it looks like in the article's picture, but go on and try it yourself!
