That's weird, isn't it? You wanted to know how to use a feature of bash and didn't check the manual?

[vertex-four]

Do you expect `man python` to output the full reference for the Python programming language?

[dfox]

I would, especially considering that "The Python Language Reference" is probably shorter than bash's manpage.

[wtbob]

I wish that it did. The man pages really are supposed to be the manual.

I agree, though it does tell you where to look for it.
