So am I. I completely switched over from "man -k" to an alias effecting "apropos -l" ("legacy"-mode): % apropos -l lfs lfs_segwait(2) - wait until a segment is written lfs_markv(2) - rewrite disk blocks to new disk locations lfs_bmapv(2) - retrieve disk addresses for arrays of blocks lfs_segclean(2) - mark a segment clean rump_lfs(8) - mount a lfs image with a userspace server resize_lfs(8) - resize a mounted log-structured filesystem newfs_lfs(8) - construct a new LFS file system mount_sysctlfs(8) - mount sysctl namespace as a directory hierarchy mount_nilfs(8) - mount a NILFS file system mount_lfs(8) - mount a log-structured file system lfs_cleanerd(8) - garbage collect a log-structured file system hlfsd(8) - home-link file system daemon fsck_lfs(8) - Log-structured File System consistency check and interactive repair dumplfs(8) - dump file system information dump_lfs(8) - filesystem backup % (This is with netbsd7; with 6, apropos -C was fine, too.)
