I didn't know about the "help" command in bash. I've always gone to "man bash", and then scrolled up and down for an hour or so.

Or just cranked-up a search engine.

So thanks for that.

Apparently, there's an "info" command, as well
Though info isn't POSIX compliant.

Not to mention that most distributions completely ignore it and don't populate it with a program's info documentation -- even when such exists.

Neither is Bash.

And, being GNU projects, Bash and `info` generally come hand-in-hand.
