There are a couple of ways to get the man page, in addition to M-x man: * Use the --all (or -a) option. For example, "info --all ls". This takes you to a menu where you can either follow the info dir entry for "ls", or open the "ls" man page. * "info --node '(*manpages*)'ls" also loads the ls man page (this is not documented). Somewhat inconsistently, "info --file '*manpages*' --node ls" doesn't work -- there is no rhyme or reason behind this as far as I am aware.
