NAME
mkwhatis - tool for making entries in whatis(1) databases
SYNOPSIS
mkwhatis
manpage
...
DESCRIPTION
mkwhatis
reads the input files (which should be manpage source
files) and extracts information for the database used by
whatis
(1). It is not perfect, but should help substantially in
this otherwise tedious task.
NOTES
For the format of the
whatis
database, see
whatis
(5).
whatis
assumes manpages that look like this:
.TH FOO 1X <-- section, subsection
.SH NAME
foo \- blah blah blah <-- name, desc
.SH DESCIPTION
.
.
.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
bar(1), foobar(5) <-- cross references
.SH SOMETHING (or eof)
or
.TH FOO 1 LOCAL
.
.
.
It does
not
handle sourced files (aliases), ie:
.so man1/foo.1
At a minimum, you will have to add keywords yourself.
