Cliphead has a point, but linux would be a lot easier if the antiquated man system could be (a) made much more search-friendly, (b) have a thematic/topic aspect added, so one could display summaries such as "man usb", and (c) more "graduated" in detail, so that by default "man {command}" would display a brief summary and the most commonly used options.
As it is, running man on any commands almost invariably displays a vast list of options most of which one hardly ever needs and which completely obscure the important ones!
