I don't have a sample script, but Apple (on the basis of Unix) also supplies some information on the built-in commands.
And for those who drat the Terminal, here is a small AppleScript that will open the respective information nicely formatted in Preview after filling in the name of the command, e.g. "rsync".
You might adjust the place where the document is created either to a place that is automatically wiped out (probably something inside "path to temporary items") or to a place where you want to store them (in my case "/Documents/Doku/Unix/").
set myResult to display dialog "Dokumentation für:" default answer ""
copy the text returned of myResult to myCommand
if myCommand is "" then exit repeat
set myCommand to word 1 of myCommand
set fileRef to (the path to temporary items as string) & myCommand & ".pdf"
# set fileRef to ("/Documents/Doku/Unix/" & myCommand & ".pdf")
# set fileRef to ((the path to home folder as string) & myCommand & ".pdf")
set manFilePath to quoted form of POSIX path of fileRef
do shell script "/usr/bin/man -t " & myCommand & " | /usr/bin/pstopdf -i -o " & manFilePath
tell application "Preview" to open fileRef
All the best
