What is the "bash man page" or "bash manual page" and where can I find it?

Question

Does this just mean the stuff that comes up when you do:

command --help

Will that always work?

Type man bash for the man(ual) page or, more usefully, info bash for the full manual.

Accepted Answer

Here is an excellent GNU bash reference :http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html

In general you can do man bash to see the exact man page for your version of bash.
