Knife Man Pages in Chef 0.10
In Chef 0.10, access to the knife man pages is directly available with knife help See knife help list for topics.

The Chef gem includes man pages, but the default RubyGem installation location is not in the $MANPATH. You can view man pages from any installed gems with gem-man.

Install the gem-man gem, then use the man sub-command for gem to view the man pages.
