Usually you resort to a man page when the --help readout doesn't 
actually tell you anything (like only listing the possible flags without 
an explanation of what they do).

But if --help is insufficient, xetex can be texdoc-ed with "texdoc 
xetex". Rather than a man page, it relies on the texdoc parser to 
autogenerate its documentation on request (although on my MiKTeX 2.8 
system that gives me an html file that basically contains only the same 
information as --help, others on a presumably slightly modern install 
report it generating the same docs as found on 
http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/xetexref)
