Usually I hate this, I’m using man for a reason, but sometimes I’m scrolling through a novel-length man page thinking that maybe most of this information needs to be anywhere else.
And sometimes the URL is broken. The man page for powertop is like that. Says “for full documentation, go to this link”, the link doesn’t work any more, and I asked the developer about it and he can’t even remember what was at the URL.
And yet it’s not the first time I’ve tried --help --verbose
“Full documentation available at httрs://blahblah”

that’s the cousin of “we regularly update our app to fix bugs”
