keyword

manaim -F

filename

DESCRIPTION

This command uses the standard Unix man command. The path for searching man
pages is the ~release/man directory.

The basic function of manaim is to provide on-line displays of AIM reference
pages. The manaim command formats (using Nroff) and displays one or more
specified reference/manual pages.

For keyword search the

-k option will display one line summary of each command where the string of
keyword is matched by identical strings in the aim/release/man/whatis file.

For filename search the

-F option attempts to locate manual pages related to any of the given filenames,
and then prints one-line summaries containing the resulting names.
This option also uses the whatis database.

EXTENDED OPTION DESCRIPTION

Manaim command provides help information about the AIM tools and other
options. There is another command called listdoc

file-name, which displays long documents on-line (e.g. bibliography), which are not
necessarily help pages.
