Description
Right now MAN tells you how to run a specific command, but not what commands are available to run. If you don't already know what commands are available, MAN isn't of much use.
There should be a generic entrance into MAN which shows all the commands it covers, along with brief descriptions of what each command does.

It should work just like command-not-found:
$ man idle
idle
O programa 'idle' não está instalado atualmente. Você pode instalá-lo digitando:
sudo apt-get install idle
No manual entry for idle.

Maybe you should read:
$ man man
Take a look at the -k option...

It seems the shell command 'info' might be of interest to you.
You can on various lines/terms to get related commands or more info.
