I've always used "man -k" - I guess I'll have to find out what apropos does.
man -k <term> ~= apropos <term>
but apropos displays possibilities rather than the man page itself.
"man -k" does too: man -k getaddrinfo gai.conf (5) - getaddrinfo(3) configuration file getaddrinfo (3) - network address and service translation getaddrinfo_a (3) - asynchronous network address and service translation
From "man man" :
man -k printf
Search the short descriptions and manual page names for the keyword printf as regular expression. Print out any matches. Equivalent to apropos -r printf.
