User Commands whatis(1)
NAME
whatis - display a one-line summary about a keyword
SYNOPSIS
whatis command...
DESCRIPTION
whatis looks up a given command and displays the header line
from the manual section. You can then run the man(1) command
to get more information. If the line starts
`name(section) ...' you can do `man -s section name' to get
the documentation for it. Try `whatis ed' and then you
should do `man -s 1 ed' to get the manual page for ed(1).
whatis is actually just the -f option to the man(1) command.
whatis uses the /usr/share/man/windex database. This data-
base is created by catman(1M). If this database does not
exist, whatis will fail.
FILES
