Manpages for nixpkgs.lib?

I’m using Nix Darwin, and I’m starting to get pretty deep into the Nix world. I find myself constantly going to noogle.dev or the nixpkgs Reference Manual to look up definitions for functions in the standard library.

I’ve discovered the :doc function in nix repl, and that helps a lot. But I wish there was a man page I could browse where all of that information is gathered.

Is there already a tool that does something like that?

I’ve hooked this up to emacs: GitHub - boinkor-net/nix-dash-docsets: Dash/Zeal docsets for the Nix Cinematic Universe

It falls a lil’ short on some things, and I keep meaning to make my own similar thing that’s less tied to a weird freemium service thing, but it’s served me ok.
