There isn’t a “man” utility in QNX, but we do have “use” instead. If
you type:
use some_command
you’ll get a summary of some_command’s options. Note that some utilities
that have been ported to QNX might not have a usage message.
Of course, for more details about a utility, see the docs.

Actually, there’s a “man” command too, even though it isn’t
documented in the Help pages. It’s in one of the “3rd party /
unsupported” repositories (as “GNU man”). It’s often the only
way to get documentation on GNU and other 3rd-party utilities.
