Re:CLI Guidelines – A guide to help you write better command... by WalterBright on Friday December 04, 2020 @10:21PM (#25311407)
What I do is with the -man switch:

    command -man
it opens the browser on the manual page for the command, such as for dmd it's https://dlang.org/dmd-windows.html

The result so convenient I added -man to the other command line tools. I thought about adding clickable urls to the error messages, but it just made the output too cluttery.
