If you already have a running Linux system, you can use the "man"
command to find out various things.

For example, "man -k copy", which searches for the keyword "copy" in man 
page titles shows me (amongst other things):

cp (1)               - copy files and directories

"man -k usage" shows me:

du (1)               - estimate file space usage



If you really are looking for a web page, most of the file utilities
under Linux are part of the GNU project - home page is at
http://www.gnu.org

Software info is available at http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html
Look for "Fileutils".

Martin
