Can anyone check if vman and man always work.

I have fish shell. I translated the vman function to fish-speak. The function works nicely, for example, vman ls works.

I noticed that vman help returns "No manual entry for help" but man help works.

Can anyone else confirm this on bash ?

It'll be great if we can be sure that there is no man page for a command when vman says so. Otherwise, we'll have to check man every time.

I tested man help on both bash and zsh. Neither of these systems seem to have a manual page for help. I don't know much about how fish works, but I suspect this is something fish-specific. I wouldn't be surprised if either the underlying man.vim plugin or fish does something non-standard, so that one doesn't play nicely with the other.
