Where to view man pages for Bash builtin commands?

For example, when I type man fg, or man history, the same manpage, BUILTIN(1) will be displayed. There is a list of commands, but not the specification of their usage. Where can I find them?

Solution

  • BUILTIN commands don't have separate man pages. Those are covered by help pages. You can do:

    help history

    or

    help fg
