21 Have you noticed that you can find lots of stuff with 'apropos' that
22 doesn't actually have a 'man' page? Here's an example:
23
24 # apropos gnutls_x509_crt_export
25 gnutls_x509_crt_export (3) - API function
26 gnutls_x509_crt_export2 (3) - API function
27
28 # man gnutls_x509_crt_export
29 No manual entry for gnutls_x509_crt_export

31 Thanks to you and Mike for your examples :)
