HowTo: Viewing documentation on GNU & Linux

Ok, so, before I go to bed, I wanted to share a quick tip with you.

Sometimes, you wanna check a man page on the CLI. AFAIK, you have two alternatives:

# man
man rsync

# info
info rsync

These are, both, pretty convenient and useful. But, sometimes, you wanna check it on a graphical environment.

Here are some options:

man --html=firefox bash
yelp man:bash
yelp info:bash

My favorite: yelp info:bash

Have fun!
