Here's a way to generate a lot of that info:
$ ls ${PATH//:/ } | sort | xargs -n 1 whatis | more -N
And that only lists items in your path, which misses aliases,
built-ins, and functions. Two things that struck me about this
pipeline:
1) the sheer number of commands, many of which I am unfamiliar with
$ ls ${PATH//:/ } | wc -l
2637
2) the number that have no man page
