|
|
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 .
|
|

|
|
The first command looks for information about columns:
|
|
.DM
|
|
whatwill column
|
|
.DE
|
|
.PP

|
.DM
|
|
column - display columns of a table in any order
|
|
column column ... < table
|
|
.DE
|

|
|
And the command
|
|

|
|
whatwill total
|
|
.DE
|
|
.PP
|
|
returns:
