NAME
       man, lookman - print or find pages of this manual

SYNOPSIS
       man [ option ...  ] [ section ...  ] title ...

       lookman key ...

DESCRIPTION
       Man  locates  and prints pages of this manual named title in the specified sections.  Title is given in lower case.  Each section is a num-
       ber; pages marked (2S), for example, belong to chapter 2.  If no section is specified, pages in all sections are printed.   Any	name  from
       the NAME section at the top of the page will serve as a title.

       The options are:

       -p     Run proof(1) on the specified man pages.

       -t     Run troff and send its output to standard output.

       -n     (Default) Print the pages on the standard output using nroff.

       Lookman prints the names of all manual sections that contain all of the key words given on the command line.

BUGS
       The manual was intended to be typeset; some detail is sacrificed on text terminals.
       There is no automatic mechanism to keep the indices up to date.
       Except for special cases, it doesn't recognize things that should be run through tbl and/or eqn.
