Ever wondered whether there is a quick tool in Linux / UNIX to tell what other commands are for?
enter whatis
just go to shell and use whatis with whatever command you think of
ex:
whatis ls
ls (1) — list directory contents
whatis w
w (1) — Show who is logged on and what they are doing
whatis whatis
whatis (1) — search the whatis database for complete words

You could use
man
withhead
:man ls | head
