* Nix command to a list of installed man pages? [man pages]

Q: Just wondering .

Cant something about this subject.


Re:Thanks! I'll give it a try now.

Re:If you're not getting anything from the various man -k commands suggested here, make sure that the man page database has actually been built. The command to do so varies from system to system – makewhatis and mandb are possibilities. Doing a man apropos should give you some more details about the database.

Re:Generally you just want 'man -k blah' or 'apropose blah'. You can do 'locate man' though if you want.

Re:PS

try using the "info" command to go thru more advanced versions of help pages.


Re:you can search thru the by adding the -k option like:

man -k ethernet

and will get a list of with that keyword in it.


Re:Not sure.. didnt work..

:-(


Re:Try man -k ""

edit: those are two double quotes there…
