  • A convenient “reference book” for any command in Linux.

    • The ExplainShell website provides a convenient interface for finding help information on any command. You just need to enter the corresponding command with all the arguments into the search bar – and you will get a comprehensive explanation of what exactly each argument does.

    • The developers collected information by parsing 29,761 manuals from the Ubuntu manual repository. They had to work hard to correctly extract information about the arguments of each program, because some reference books use non-standard page formatting.

    Example :

    ssh -i keyfile -f -N -L 1234:www.google.com:80 host

    • The ExplainShell engine is written in python, using NLTK, d3.js and Flask, the source code is published on Github.
