A/UX® Programmer's Reference

5.3 Command synopses
This section is a compact collection of syntax descriptions for all the
commands in AIUX Command Reference and AIUX System
Administrator's Reference. It may help you find the syntax of commands
more quickly when the syntax is all you need.
5.4 Index
The index lists key terms associated with A/UX subroutines and commands.
These key terms allow you to locate an entry when you don't
know the command or subroutine name.
The key terms were constructed by examining the meaning and usage
of the A/UX manual pages. It is designed to be more discriminating
and easier to use than the traditional permuted index, which lists nearly
all words found in the manual page NAME sections.
Most manual pages are indexed under more than one entry; for example,
lorder(l) is included under "archive files," "sorting," and
"cross-references." This way you are more likely to find the reference
you are looking for on the first try.
5.5 Online documentation
Besides the paper documentation in the reference manuals, A/UX provides
several ways to search and read the contents of each reference
from your A/UX system.
To see a manual page displayed on your screen, enter the man(l)
command followed by the name of the entry you want to see. For
example,
man passwd
To see the description phrase from the NAME section of any manual
page, enter the whatis command followed by the name of the entry
you want to see. For example,
whatis apropos
