Is there a way to have man pages available for commands i want without having to install the corresponding package?



For example, I want to browse the man page for emacs. And I don't have emacs installed and prefer not to install it. I know i can visit man pages online , but I want man emacs to get me the man page. Is there a way for this?

It depends on the package. Emacs isn't packaged in a way that you can. For some packages you can apt-get install basepackage-doc.
