This already exists. Make sure the "Shell Script" bundle is not
filtered out (the relevant command is there, that's why it needs to
be not filtered out. It can however not be the current language, C
would do just fine as well). Then ctrl-H offers man pages
documentation for the current word, and this includes all the C
Library commands I believe. And all without ever having to leave TM!
For instance try "utime + ctrl-H"
