Q: apt packages without manual pages When I look at what I have installed via apt list --installed, why are there so many entries without manual pages?
I tried info [package name] and package name --help
and get the output
bash: package name: command not found


A: People think that you are looking for manual pages, because you erroneously think that you are looking for manual pages.  To see descriptions of what the packages in that list actually are, use:


*

*aptitude show ${PACKAGE_NAME}

*apt show ${PACKAGE_NAME}

*https://packages.debian.org./package-name

A: man [binary name] is the useful syntax to enter at the command line.
