Is 'command' documented somewhere?

Déjà vu...

I've used terminal commands for so many decades I don't know where to
look up fine details of a specific commands.


Your quote is incomplete. I also said:
 But is there somewhere to go directly without a web search?

What I needed is the discussion of command/type/whereis/etc     which is now occurring below in this thread/sub-treads ;}

I'll have to re-read the sub-thread Max referenced to see if my question had been answered but did not register ;/

I just reread {in chronological order} the overall thread Max referenced. I need to do a detail read of several Bash references mentioned by various people:
   > https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
   > https://guide.bash.academy/
   > http://folk.ntnu.no/geirha/bashguide.pdf
   > https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/

There also was an intriguing reference to a BSD tool called "Learn" which is described by its man-page as "computer aided instruction about UNIX" [ https://www.unix.com/man-page/bsd/1/LEARN/ ].

Is Debian similar enough to BSD that LEARN could be run?
Has it, or something similar, been created for Debian?

In the meantime the four references above should keep me occupied.
