[sf-lug] much can be said for ... for i in /usr/share/man/man*; do man $i/*; done

[Michael Paoli]

I like looking over stuff in the directories on PATH, for anything
in them that I don't recognize or not all that sure what it does or
what it's for - and having a look at the man page.  :-)

Have found some really cool stuff by such, or similar means.
E.g. tac(1) - so very handy.
