I had come across dwww browsing apt-cache, I think tkman
has something simular - but It didn't help me to under-
stand if/how all these man pages are logicaly organised.
"Apropos" is one of my favorit helpers, but if you do a:
"apropos program|grep signal"
you end up in no results, yet the above mentioned signal
man page has this header "Linux Programmer's Manual".
