man - read manual pages
Synopsis

$ 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.
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.
