17 -.LP
18 -The \fBapropos\fR utility displays the man page name, section number, and a
19 -short description for each man page whose \fBNAME\fR line contains
20 -\fIkeyword\fR. This information is contained in the \fB/usr/share/man/windex\fR
21 -database created by \fBcatman\fR(1M). If \fBcatman\fR(1M) was not run, or was
22 -run with the \fB-n\fR option, \fBapropos\fR fails. Each word is considered
23 -separately and the case of letters is ignored. Words which are part of other
24 -words are considered; for example, when looking for `compile', \fBapropos\fR
25 -finds all instances of `compiler' also.
26 -.sp
27 -.LP
28 -\fBapropos\fR is actually just the \fB-k\fR option to the \fBman\fR(1) command.
