I'm using Debian. Somtimes I use the "whatis" command to find out
what I program does. I understand it derives its information from
the top line description of the man page of the particular command.
I would like to peruse all of the commands in the whatis/man database
in the whatis format, so I can find more neat programs. For example:
prompt> whatis chfn
chfn (1) - change user name and information
How can I, script or otherwise, dump all of this information into a
text catalog-like file so I can print it?
Thanks,
Mario
