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 +.IR -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 +.IR -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. + + +.SH "EXTENDED OPTION DESCRIPTION" +Manaim command provides help information about the AIM tools and other +options. There is another command called listdoc +.IR file-name, +which displays long documents on-line (e.g. bibliography), which are not +necessarily help pages. + +.SH FILES +/home/cedar/local/aim/release/script/manaim + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +createman(1), enterman(1), editman(1), delman(1) and listscript(1). + +.SH BUGS +No bugs yet. + +.SH EXAMPLES +For screenful of text: + +manaim +.IR ptrain; +manaim +.IR fft. + +For keywords (an apropos command): + +manaim +.IR -k +.IR atob + +.SH COPYRIGHT +.LP +Copyright (c) Applied Psychology Unit, Medical Research Council, 1995 +.LP +Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software without fee +is hereby granted for research purposes, provided that this copyright +notice appears in all copies and in all supporting documentation, and that +the software is not redistributed for any fee (except for a nominal +shipping charge).
