           _A_p_r_o_p_o_s shows which manual sections contain instances of any
           of the given keywords in their title.  Each word is
           considered separately and case of letters is ignored.  Words
           which are part of other words are considered thus looking
           for compile will hit all instances of `compiler' also.  Try

                apropos password

           and

                apropos editor

           If the line starts `name(section) ...' you can do `man
           section name' to get the documentation for it.  Try `apropos
           format' and then `man 3s printf' to get the manual on the
           subroutine _p_r_i_n_t_f.

           _A_p_r_o_p_o_s is actually just the ----kkkk option to the _m_a_n(1)
           command.
