      FWIW, most if not all bash builtins turn up when searching in man bash for [four spaces]command-name[space], but as someone else points out, the help command also er, helps.

          Maybe it’s the (default) configuration on my distro, but info bash is the same information as man bash but with no bold text for headings and things. Ironically, I think I’d have to sit down with man info or info info for an hour or two before I could figure out how to get that formatting to show up in info.

            Info pages are supposed to be way way more comprehensive than man pages. At least for the Gnu stuff since nobody else ever bothered with info (which can be painful to use for newcomers with the cli browser, although the kde help browser integrates info files flawlessly, of course).
