Sometimes a manpage is good. Sometimes /usr/share/doc/<foo>.
Sometimes install foo-doc package to get the documentation. google
can help a lot. linuxdoc.org has lots of howtos.
If you can't find the F{ine} Manual for a given piece of software or
task then just ask. It usually helps to mention where you have
already looked too.
