Write your own manual. It should include commands along with flags. The syntax as well as an explanation of the flag should be included.

Additionally, you should be able to search this text file for the required command. ie. You should be able to find some grep or sed argument that will print out the entry for each command. This task will involve formatting a text file in emacs. Please see the emacs handout for help on creating this document.
