The URLs of the form `help://man/<section>/<page>` link to another help page inside the help application. All previous relative page links are replaced by this new form. This doesn't change any behavior but it looks much nicer :^) Note that man doesn't handle these new links, but the previous relative links didn't work either.

man - read manual pages
Synopsis
$ man page
$ man section page
Description
man finds, loads and displays the so-called manual pages,
or man pages for short, from the SerenityOS manual. You're reading
the manual page for man program itself right now.
Sections
The SerenityOS manual is split into the following sections, or chapters:
- User programs
- System calls
- Libraries
- Special files
- File formats
- Games
- Miscellanea
- Sysadmin tools
Sections are subject to change in the future.
Examples
To open documentation for the echo command:
$ man echo
To open the documentation for the mkdir command:
$ man 1 mkdir
Conversely, to open the documentation about the mkdir() syscall:
$ man 2 mkdir
Files
man looks for man pages under /usr/share/man. For example,
this man page should be located at /usr/share/man/man1/man.md.
