Why each option
The man and info commands are the two standard Linux utilities for reading detailed documentation about commands.
The info command reads structured Info documents, which are the primary documentation format for GNU utilities and often contain more detailed information than man pages, including hyperlinked navigation between topics. The man command displays formatted manual pages from the system's man-page database, covering syntax, options, and usage for nearly every installed command and system call.

helpme is not a real Linux command - it does not exist in any standard distribution or common package.
ask is not a standard Linux documentation command, though it may exist as a third-party utility unrelated to command help.
whatdoes is not a recognized Linux command for retrieving documentation or descriptions of other commands.
