Yup ;-)

The think I didn't see anyone mention was how you could have found this 
for yourself.

  apropos uptime

gives you a list of manual pages which mention the word you give.  Just 
like google, sometimes you need to be creative about the word.

  man apropos

has more information.

If, like me, you can't type apropos correctly more that 30% of the time, 
then "man -k" does the same thing as is kinder on clumsy fingers.
