Description
The keyword databases, located in
/usr/lib/scohelp/LANG/man/.SectionData/whatis/section,
are created using
makewhatis(1M).
These are merged into a master keyword database, located in
/usr/lib/scohelp/LANG/man/whatis
and used by
man(1),
apropos(1bsd),
and
whatis(1bsd).
Each entry in whatis consists of a line specifying a
manual page name, its section, and a short
description.
For example, the entry for this manual page is:
