As I understand it, texdoc is a TeXLive-specific program
for finding documentation on a particular package
in a TeXLive installation.
For example
  texdoc amsmath
brings up (on my laptop) "User guide for AMSmath package".
Also
  texdoc texdoc
brings up a texdoc tutorial (by the author of texdoc).

Note that you must have the relevant TeXLive doc file installed, eg
  sudo yum install texlive-amsmath-doc*
I note that if I ran
  sudo yum install texlive-*doc
it would take up 1GB of space (which I don't have to spare!)
