The man (manual) pages, provide information about the packages installed on your system as well as Linux system commands plus a list of extra commands / arguments that can be used through the terminal.
For example the man (manual) pages for google chrome can be found by entering the following command in the terminal
man google-chrome
For the command top
man top
You can also output the man page to a .txt file. In the example below I am outputting the man page for google chrome using the following commands below.
man google-chrome > google_chrome_man_page.txt
