manly

manly is a compliment to man pages.

It's a lot like explainshell (don't worry, that is explain-shell, not explains-hell).

Your good friend has a funky alias in his dotfiles: alias alert="notify-send -i terminal -t 5 'Alert from Terminal!'":

$ manly notify-send -it

notify-send - a program to send desktop notifications
=====================================================

      -t, --expire-time=TIME
              The duration, in milliseconds, for the notification to  appear  on  screen.
              (Ubuntu's Notify OSD and GNOME Shell both ignore this parameter.)

      -i, --icon=ICON[,ICON...]
              Specifies an icon filename or stock icon to display.

Short and sweet!
