      NAME
           man - find manual information by keywords; print the manual

      SYNTAX
           man -k keyword ...
           man -f file ...
           man [ - ] [ section ] title ...

      DESCRIPTION
           Man prints one-line descriptions of ROS commands, searches
           for manual pages according to a given keyword, and prints
           pages of this ROS Reference Manual.

           -k keywords
                prints a one-line description of each manual entry
                whose table of contents listing contains the keyword.

           -f filenames
                lists the table of contents lines for manual entries
                relating to those files.

           Without -k or -f, man formats a specified set of manual
           pages.  If a section specifier is given, man looks in that
           section of the manual for the given titles. Section is a
           section number (1 thru 7).  The number may be followed by a
           single letter classifier (3M for instance) indicating a math
           library from section 3.  If section is omitted, man searches
           all sections of the manual, giving preference to commands
           over subroutines in system libraries, and printing the first
           section it finds, if any.

           If the standard output is a teletype, or if the flag - is
           given, man pipes its output through cat(1) with the -s
           option to delete useless blank lines, and through more(1) to
           stop after each page on the screen.  Press the SPACE bar to
           continue, or control-D to scroll more lines when the output
           stops.

      FILES
           /usr/man/cat?/*

      SEE ALSO
           more(1), ul(1), whereis(1)

      BUGS
           The manual is supposed to be reproducible either on the
           phototypesetter or on a typewriter, but some information is
           lost on a typewriter.
