pro-beginner tips:
man program | less -p "specific function inside the program". scroll with "n" to the different occurences where the searched expression has been found (and shift+n to go back one search term)- example:
man less | less -p "-p"searches in the manual of the programm less for the search-pattern "-p". this works with the help flag as well. egs.less --help | less -p "-p". mostly --help or -h provides only a rougher help than the man(ual) but sometimes there is no manual. |pipes the outpout of the first command to te second command. solesssearches via-pthe whole man page and starts its output at the first occurance of the searche pattern.
man -K "Search-Pattern"searches every man page for a certin pattern (slow!)apropos "search-pattern"searches in programm description for a pattern and results in a list with programm names.
install tldr (too long didnt read)
tldr programmgives you the most used use-cases of a programm and often some inspiration.!!repeats the last command. so withsudo !!you can repeat a command where you forgot to putsudo;)
