And this isn't modern, it came out around 1971 :)The first is "apropos" or "man -k". You ask for a keyword and maybe a section and it lists relevant pages.The second is intro pages. "man 1 intro" tells you about user commands. "man 2 intro" about system calls, and so on.Third is the "SEE ALSO" lists. Once you find something relevant you start chasing rabbit holes.And finally "man man" of course.

The first is "apropos" or "man -k". You ask for a keyword and maybe a section and it lists relevant pages.
The second is intro pages. "man 1 intro" tells you about user commands. "man 2 intro" about system calls, and so on.
Third is the "SEE ALSO" lists. Once you find something relevant you start chasing rabbit holes.
And finally "man man" of course.
