There are a couple of ways to get the man page, in addition to M-x man:

* Use the --all (or -a) option.  For example, "info --all ls".  This takes you
  to a menu where you can either follow the info dir entry for "ls", or open
  the "ls" man page.

* "info --node '(*manpages*)'ls" also loads the ls man page (this is not
  documented).  Somewhat inconsistently, "info --file '*manpages*' --node ls"
  doesn't work -- there is no rhyme or reason behind this as far as I am
  aware.
