How does one browse a module's functions and their types?

How do Haskell programmers browse through a module to see the available methods and data types?

I am asking because i think that there is a faster and easier way then to always enter hoogle and look them up (as i am currently doing). I just want to see the methods and signatures.

P.S I discovered GHCI provides a browse method but is there any way to pipe the result in a file ? Redirecting ghci output to file ?

My usual approach to this is finding the package on Hackage and browsing the docs on there - which have the methods and signatures (types).

For example for Data.List: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.11.1.0/docs/Data-List.html

How about a simple command line option and shell redirect?

ghci -e ':browse Prelude' > file.txt
