Where can I find documentation for the Erlang shell?

Question

The Erlang documentation contains the documentation of modules.

Where can I find the documentation of the Erlang shell? (Which is not a module, I suppose.)

The answer [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1063497/hidden-features-of-erlang) is really useful for a list of some shell commands I've never seen documented anywhere else... — sanmiguel, Dec 28 '12 at 16:28

This page in the documentation seems to be a starting point. Especially the link in it. Check also the first link in it, with the shell's manpage.

I think Erlang shell is also a module. Take a look at this: Erlang shell

I'm using Getting Started with Erlang, chapter 1.2.1. It's about the shell and brings you up to speed on usage, etc..
