When man <cmd> or <cmd> --help or <cmd> -h doesn't show you how to use the command, what should you do to get the information you need?

For example, the command enable has no manual page.

  • Type enable --invalid_option will only show you the usage enable: usage: enable [-a] [-dnps] [-f filename] [name ...] without any explanation.
  • Since the term enable is too generic, searching online for ubuntu terminal command enable will only give you lots of unwanted results.

So is there a best way to get the manual of a command, when man <cmd> doesn't work?
