Explanation

The 'man' (manual) command is the standard UNIX way to access documentation for any command. Syntax is 'man ' which displays the manual page. Options like 'help/?', 'help ', and ' /?' are not standard UNIX help syntax - these patterns exist in other systems but not in traditional UNIX.
