- _w_h_a_t_i_s looks up a given command and gives the header line from the manual
- section. You can then run the _m_a_n(1) command to get more information.
- If the line starts `name(section) ...' you can do `man section name' to
- get the documentation for it. Try `whatis ed' and then you should do
- `man 1 ed' to get the manual.
-
- _w_h_a_t_i_s is actually just the ----ffff option to the _m_a_n(1) command.

- _w_h_a_t_i_s (_m_a_n -_f) requires that the _w_h_a_t_i_s database be kept up to date by
- running _m_a_k_e_w_h_a_t_i_s(1M) after installing or removing software from the
- system. If the _w_h_a_t_i_s database is not kept up to date, _w_h_a_t_i_s (_m_a_n -_f)
- will not find entries for new manual pages and will erroneously refer to
- manual pages which no longer exist on the system.
