Hear hear. However, I found it hard to interpret and so read the fine description at the top of the page. Even then, the presentation in firefox 61.0.2-1 misleads because a larger vertical gap separates related functional description from the following programs than those programs from the next description. ┌ -l spool the output │ │ └ groff: probably before groff-0.4 (before July 14, 1990) ┌ interpret arguments as file names │ │ ├ man: before man-2.2a7 (before Nov 16, 1994), OpenBSD 5.7 (Aug 30, 2014) │ │ └ apropos, whatis, mandoc: OpenBSD 5.7 (Aug 30, 2014) ┌ do not trim output to the terminal width │ │ └ apropos, whatis: man-db (Aug 19, 2007) ┌ only parse NAME sections │ │ └ makemandb: NetBSD (Feb 7, 2012) ┌ legacy mode: search Nm,Nd, no context or formatting │ │ └ apropos: NetBSD (March 29, 2013) ┌ list all manual pages matching name within the search path │ │ └ man: illumos, Solaris 9-11 -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
