Good help for sh is in help system. Launch Photon and in shelf click on “Help”.
To read man pages, install netbsd-man-core from repository. All native QNX commands will show you
USAGE message if you type in console:
$ use

OK, but is the use command using the man pages?

No. ‘use’ command just prints out to the console the USAGE section. This section is included in
executable. Example:

use use

I’ve some of them on the filesystem, but don’t know where to find the man
program…(?)

Install from repository man program, also groff. Launch “Package Installer”, view CD-Repository,
mark check boxes for this software and press Install button.
