- "-p": It is an option that specifies the name of the package you want to work with. The
${package_name}
is a placeholder, and you need to replace it with the actual name of the package you want to retrieve documentation for. ${command_name}
: This is another placeholder that needs to be replaced with the name of the specific command you want to retrieve documentation for within the package.
Overall, this command is used to access the manual pages (manpages) or documentation specific to a particular Debian package and command.
