More than likely he's running bash which would mean documentation would be in gnu infotex format. (or whatever the gnutards call it.)

The Linux Command Line By William Shotts
You can download the PDF for free from here http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

>>54636181
hi, most CLI programs has a manual or you can use --help in most of them, there's tons of examples on the internet about how to use each of them that's why i never needed a book for that, for scripting it may be a different story though.

man is probably the best tool, but for a good guide, check out

It's a free download, and it's what I used to get into bash scripting.

Type "man intro" in the terminal, it shows most commonly used commands and how to use man pages, the intro to section 1 of the manual, same as man 1 intro; man 2 intro through man 8 intro also exist

or type:

SOMECOMMAND --help
whatis SOMECOMMAND
man SOMECOMMAND
info SOMECOMMAND

#looking for a command you don't know his name
man -k SOMECOMMAND
