I'm just using standard AmigaShell commands to get:

man -> list of available manuals (autodocs)
man topic -> manual document (topic is the filename with or without extension)

mh -> list of include directories (i.e. exec/graphics/devices/...)
mh directory -> list of headers with that directory
mh header -> headerfile (filename is with or without extension)

mi -> same for assembler includes

fd library function or fd library offset (postive or negative)
to get the appropriate line of the fd file
