Bro Pages (instead of "man" pages) is a similar resource I find myself using surprisingly often http://bropages.org/browse
That project is a symptom of manual pages not having good “EXAMPLES” sections. The examples on that web page should be contributed upstream to the manuals pages of the software that they are for.
If you want a fast way to read the EXAMPLES section only for a command, here is a shell function which creates an ‘eg’ command which only displays the “EXAMPLES” section of manual pages:
eg(){
MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING=1 man "$@" 2>/dev/null \
| sed --quiet --expression='/^E\(\x08.\)X\(\x08.\)\?A\(\x08.\)\?M\(\x08.\)\?P\(\x08.\)\?L\(\x08.\)\?E/{:a;p;n;/^[^ ]/q;ba}' \
| ${MANPAGER:-${PAGER:-pager -s}}
}
$ eg tar
EXAMPLES
Create archive.tar from files foo and bar.
tar -cf archive.tar foo bar
List all files in archive.tar verbosely.
tar -tvf archive.tar
Extract all files from archive.tar.
tar -xf archive.tar
$
