How does Haskell deal with documentation?

Question

How do I get online documentation in Haskell?

Are there anything as elegant/handy as what Python does below?

>>> help([].count)
Help on bu         


        

Answer 1

You can use Hoogle to search for documentation by function name or its type signature (perhaps, approximate type signature). There's also a command-line offline version of this tool which you can get from hackage.
