Sure. Just open the Terminal, and begin by writing "man man" (Enter).
Generally, "man <command>" gives you a documentation of <command>. With
original Unix commands it works pretty well. Some GNU-based stuff has not
a man page, but can write out its own help with using "command --help"
(sometimes both man page and --help are available). Finally, some Apple
stuff -- like pbpaste/pbcopy -- has alas no documentation at all (at least
so far as I know).
