DESCRIPTION

Icdman is a program that accesses information from the on-line manual in a man(1)-like fashion. With the -k option manual information can be searched for by keyword. Icdman prints out a one-line synopsis of each manual entry whose listing in the 'whatis' database contains keyword. The 'whatis' database can be created with catman(1ICD). When the -k option is not specified icdman searches for a manual entry, specified by the title entry, and displays it on the terminal screen. If a section number is specified icdman looks in that section for entry. If section is omitted, icdman searches all sections of the on-line manual. Help about the following sections is currently available:

	sectionnr:	1. User Commands and Sys. Administration
		3. Functions
		4. File Formats

EXAMPLES

$ icdman icdman $ icdman -k import $ icdman dsui $ icdman 4 maskdata
