NAME

       apropos - locate commands by keyword lookup

SYNOPSIS

       apropos keyword...

DESCRIPTION

       The apropos utility displays the man page name, section number, and a short description for each man page whose NAME line contains keyword.
       This information is contained in the /usr/share/man/windex database created by catman(1M). If catman(1M) was not run, or was run  with  the
       -n  option,  apropos  fails. Each word is considered separately and the case of letters is ignored. Words which are part of other words are
       considered; for example, when looking for `compile', apropos finds all instances of `compiler' also.

       apropos is actually just the -k option to the man(1) command.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: To find a man page whose NAME line contains a keyword

       Try

       example% apropos password

       and

       example% apropos editor

       If the line starts `filename(section) ...' you can run

       man -s section filename
       to display the man page for filename.

       Example 2: To find the man page for the subroutine printf()

       Try

       example% apropos format

       and then

       example% man -s 3s printf

       to get the manual page on the subroutine printf().

FILES

       /usr/share/man/windex	       table of contents and keyword database

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       man(1), whatis(1), catman(1M), attributes(5)

DIAGNOSTICS

       /usr/share/man/windex: No such file or directory

	   This database does not exist. catman(1M) must be run to create it.
