Package: man-db
Severity: wishlist
Looking thru all the options to man and apropos, I can't find an
option to avoid me having to type the full name of the page I want
(which is bad if one can't cut and paste with the mouse.)
$ apropos unidec
Text::Unidecode (3pm) - - US-ASCII transliterations of Unicode text
Yes, that's the page I want. I can grudgingly do
$ apropos unidec|cut -f 1 -d ' '|xargs man
but I really wish there was a
man -Z <regexp>
Read all manual pages matching the regexp.
One would first do apropos <regexp> and adjust it to see that it
matches all the pages we want to read, then do man -Z <regexp>.
(-Z --regexp-matches: you give it a good name.)
