This may seem like splitting hairs, but both to you and to anyone in a similar situation, consider instead "skimming" the documentation rather than "reading" it. A lot of times the value of that first "reading" is just in getting a sense of what can be done and an idea about where it is documented. Certainly not memorizing how to do it on a simple read. There's a very popular unexamined idea that people retain things by reading them once and then will forever after retain it, but that idea is obviously stupid once I drag it out into the sunlight and point you at it. That's not the goal of a first read, and it's not what the vast majority of us get out of a first read. (Anyone who can operate that way is invited to make their own plans and let us normies discuss how to deal with our normal reading retention levels.)

I probably "skim" the bash man page once every couple of years and I still find new things that I blipped over every other time.
