Answer / Ankur Srivastava

To determine the purpose of a command located in the /bin directory, you can use the 'man' (short for manual) command followed by the command name. Here is an example:nn```shnman command_namen``` For instance, if you have a command named 'mysterycommand' in /bin, you would run: nn```shnmand mysterycommandn```
