I installed the latest GNU/Bash and gnu coreutils on Mac



$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin18.0.0)


check the coreutils with a g prefix



$ gls -l $(which gls)
lrwxr-xr-x 1 me admin 32 Oct 27 12:50 /usr/local/bin/gls -> ../Cellar/coreutils/8.30/bin/gls


When it come to man



$ man gman
No manual entry for gman


It fall back to error,



$ man man
#works but get BSD manual in year 2003 as return.


I am noticed that coreutils are composed of GNU fileutils, shellutils and textutils, so the manual should have a solution to be checked.



How could I refer to gnu manual from the bash.
