man is a command in linux to bring up the manuals/docs

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/man-command-in-linux-with-examples/

If you're on a linux distro, you could type:

man ls which would fetch you the manual for ls, which lists files and dirs for you. However, I think it's more common for users to use ls --help instead, which would show the same manual information.

(sorry if you already knew this, but it looked almost like you were asking what this means and then a bunch of linux users just joked around without explaining anything XD)
