It's often an annoyance, but if you hit Esc twice (real fast) in an xterm, you will get a list of everything in the $PATH. You can use it as a basic list of everything.

You probably could setup an lwp script, to search wikipedia for each entry and print out a summary of what everything does. Check out wikipedia search script
