,--- You/Matthew (Wed, 6 Jan 2010 23:43:04 -0500) ----* | > uname -sr; man -w ptrace; man -S 3 -w ptrace; man -S 2 -k ptrace | | You might like to know about apropos(1):
apropos == man -k (or: apropos ~= man -k) No? | $ apropos trace | | [...] | kdump (1) - display kernel trace data | ktrace (2) - process tracing | ktrace, ktruss (1) - enable kernel process tracing | [...] I saw the above, with "man -k trace", and did try either ktrace or ktruss (don't remember which one), on /usr/sbin/powerd, and saw no output. My astonishment at `man's behavior in NetBSD was due to the fact that I could not tell `man -k' what section to look in. Only in NetBSD. Of all the things that I had seen in NetBSD, this astonished me most (and I have seen quite a few things unusual for a person dealing with FreeBSD, Solaris, AIX and Linux daily, and with HP-UX occasionally.) -- Alex -- alex-goncha...@comcast.net --
