I've looked at man man and I don't see any option to display a list of all available man pages list single line summaries. IE: Something like this that I snitched from whatis man but a nice alphabetical list or category list of all man pages available: catman(1) - preformat man pages man(1) - format and display the on-line manual pages man(7) - quick reference guide for the -man macro package manpath(1)- determine user's search path for man pages pod2man(1)- translate embedded Perl pod directives into man pages ... on and on, a long list ... So I guess my question is as follows: 1. Is there a way to request a man summary like this? 2. Is there a HTML site somewhere that perhaps gives a summary of the standard man pages either alphabetically or even better a summary of man pages ordered by categories!
