Many Linux man pages have the thoroughness of a fortune cookie, so I can understand the skepticism.
Jackpot if they're just a pointer to an 'info' page.
The real jackpot is if they're the same as the --help command
I was never able to properly parse large man pages, I'm so happy that llms can now prepare half a usable command without spending an hour reading a time without a single usage example.
But its also true that many, many man pages have extremely valuable information that no enterprising hacker should overlook, too ..
Do we still have those? I think it was common in late '90s, due to GNU trying to get `info` gain moment but nowadays?
Most people just discount man pages as unreadable and don’t even try to understand them.
Case in point: the jq man page is incredible and everyone I know instead runs off to google or stackoverflow or Claude to answer simple questions
