I accidentally typed ss instead of ls and was surprised when it did something... I can use rpm's --whatprovides to see where it came from, but how are you supposed to find out want a program does when it doesn't have a man page?
On a slightly more helpful note, once you know the name of the rpm which provided the package, you can use 'rpm -qd packagename' to see the documentation included with that package. Not everything has a manpage, but there might be a readme or other doc with info.
