  The command `ansible-doc`
  
  > Displays information on modules installed in Ansible libraries. It displays a terse listing of plugins and their short descriptions, provides a printout of their DOCUMENTATION strings ...
  
  from the module source.
  
  Therefore for [filters to manipulate data](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters.html) like [`flatten`](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters.html#managing-list-variables) or [`ipaddr`](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters_ipaddr.html) there is no such command.
