idank/explainshell: explainshell.com – match command-line arguments to their help text

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/03

This is brilliant for learning *nix shell programming:

explainshell.com – match command-line arguments to their help text

explainshell is a tool (with a web interface) capable of parsing man pages, extracting options and explain a given command-line by matching each argument to the relevant help text in the man page.

It has open source code at gitub too: idank/explainshell.
