+NAME
+     whatis - database of online manual pages
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     /usr/man/*/whatis
+     /usr/man/whatis
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     The whatis file in each manual page directory is a database of titles for
+     manual  pages.   This  database is used by man(1) to map titles to manual
+     pages names.  The database is created  by  makewhatis(8)  from  the  NAME
+     sections of the manual pages.
+
+     The NAME secions must be  simple  lines  with  no  troff  fluff  but  one
+     backslash like these two:
+
+          whatis \- database of online manual pages
+          cawf, nroff \- C  version  of  the  nroff-like,  Amazingly  Workable
+          (text) Formatter
+
+     These lines are transformed by makewhatis to  these  two  lines  for  the
+     database:
+
+          cawf, nroff (1) - C version of the  nroff-like,  Amazingly  Workable
+          (text) Formatter
+          whatis (5) - database of online manual pages
+
+     As you can see they are in section number order,  so  that  man  searches
+     them in section order.
+
+     Each entry is just a single line,  restricting  the  NAME  section  to  a
+     single line too with just one dash, and commas and spaces before the dash
+     as you see above.
+
+SEE ALSO
+     man(1), whatis(1), man(7), makewhatis(8).
+
+BUGS
+     It seems to be impossible for many manual page writers to keep  the  NAME
+     section  simple.   They  also  like  to use every font available in their
+     documents.  My simple scripts can't read their NAME sections,  my  simple
+     me can't read their texts.
