Have you noticed that you can find lots of stuff with 'apropos' that
doesn't actually have a 'man' page?  Here's an example:

# apropos gnutls_x509_crt_export
gnutls_x509_crt_export (3)  - API function
gnutls_x509_crt_export2 (3)  - API function

# man gnutls_x509_crt_export
No manual entry for gnutls_x509_crt_export

Thanks to you and Mike for your examples :)
