If you don't know about UNIX manual pages, you're missing out on a lot. Try typing man latex into your shell. Manual pages should be available for quite a few different commands, utilities, functions, shells, protocols, and system calls. You can also access manual pages on unix.com through the 'man' link in the top bar, though as it turns out, not for latex.

SYNOPSIS
