.II "command^print syntax"
The command
.B whatwill
displays the description and syntax of the command that performs
.IR function .
It resembles the Berkeley UNIX command
.BR appropos .
It also resembles the
.B /rdb
command
.B whatis
except that it seeks
.I function
anywhere in the name of the command, the description, and the syntax.
For example, if you ask for
.B total,
.B whatwill
returns both
.B total
and
.BR subtotal .
.SH Example

.DM
whatwill column

And the command
.DM
whatwill total

returns:
