- WHATIS(5) Minix Programmer's Manual WHATIS(5)
- NAME
- whatis - database of online manual pages
- SYNOPSIS
- /usr/man/*/whatis
- /usr/man/whatis
- DESCRIPTION
- The whatis file in each manual page directory is a database of titles for
- manual pages. This database is used by man(1) to map titles to manual
- pages names. The database is created by makewhatis(1) from the NAME
- sections of the manual pages.
- The NAME secions must be simple lines with no troff fluff but one
- backslash like these two:
- whatis - database of online manual pages
- cawf, nroff - C version of the nroff-like, Amazingly Workable
- (text) Formatter
- These lines are transformed by makewhatis to these two lines for the
- database:
- cawf, nroff (1) - C version of the nroff-like, Amazingly Workable
- (text) Formatter
- whatis (5) - database of online manual pages
- As you can see they are in section number order, so that man searches
- them in section order.
- Each entry is just a single line, restricting the NAME section to a
- single line too with just one dash, and commas and spaces before the dash
- as you see above.
- SEE ALSO
- man(1), whatis(1), makewhatis(1), man(7).
- BUGS
- It seems to be impossible for many manual page writers to keep the NAME
- section simple. They also like to use every font available in their
- documents. My simple scripts can't read their NAME sections, my simple
- me can't read their texts.
