I tend to use "man -k hostname", not sure how different they are.
$ man -k hostname hostname: nothing appropriate.
Dave, something is wrong with your man pages or some index of the same -
Dunno, google: man whatever is how I access man pages :) But FWIW: $ man hostname Man: find all matching manual pages (set MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT to avoid this) * hostname (1) hostname (5) hostname (7) Man: What manual page do you want? Man: so the man pages are there. I expect there's some kind of file indexing program behind apropos and man -k and I kill off all such tools as soon as I discover them on principle :) Blood-sucking parasites, hrmpph! :)
