man page
Unix help file
A man page is a documentation file for Unix and Linux systems, accessed by typing "man" followed by a command name: man grep.
Short for manual page.
Man pages follow a standard format with sections for synopsis, description, and options.
They're terse and technical, written for users who already understand the basics: Just read the man page.
