For example, I can read the manual pages of bash by:

$ man bash

or

$ info bash

But there is also /usr/share/doc/bash which contains other related documents. When I looking into the docs of ECB (emacs code browser), in /usr/share/doc/ecb/html, is there any program find the html for me? For example I can type

$ htmldocs ecb

instead of

$ cd /usr/share/doc/ecb/html
$ firefox ...

Each application is responsible for providing their own tool for reading the docs in /usr/share/doc. There is no universal mechanism for handling it.
