I'm still working on Linux Phrasebook, Vol. 2. Two questions:
1. Do you prefer man -f (AKA man --whatis)? Or do you just use the whatis command? 2. Do you prefer man -k (AKA man --apropos)? Or do you just use the apropos command? I'm trying to decide which of each to feature. Right now, I have sections for man -f AND whatis, & also for man -k AND apropos, which is stupid. I'd like instead to have one for the whatis stuff & one for the apropos stuff. I will mention the other alternatives, of course. As I said, I'm just trying to decide which to feature. Personally, I always use whatis & apropos. I never even think to use man -f or man -k. But I'm trying to get a sense if I'm unusual. Any input is appreciated. Tks! Scott -- R.
