I don't mean this in a snarky way, but shell man pages are
historically in the class of docs that you really need to read over

them not very good, but I personally have read the bash man pages
literally thousands of times and before I'm dead, I expect to multiply
that many times over. There are really good web pages that people have
put a lot of of time and energy into, and those are not to be
dismissed. The idea is to assemble your resources enough that you can
know where to go to answer a specific question. In between those
questions, you really need to re-read your reference material on a
regular basis.
It never ends. :-)
I'm using searching on man page and also bash reference manual is quite
usable (at least it has index).
