No, didn't know it existed Tomas, but howinhell is all that supposed to
help? Must be 3 or 4 screens full. What we'd need to do is to feed all
that to grep to see if the problem child device is mentioned.
I think we could, but the resultant cli would be too long. Maybe if we
could nuke the comments and only use the filename? But even then it
would be over a kilobyte. Even that fails:
gene@coyote:/CoCo/pyDriveWire/config$ grep usbS0 `man -k systemd`
grep: deb-systemd-helper: No such file or directory
(no path to it from the instant `pwd`)
grep: (1p): No such file or directory
And 2 minutes later its still stuck there. But does quit with a ctl-c.
Perhaps the list could be a source for locate? But that would blow up on
the comments too.
Somewhat past ridiculous, into sublime, but you get my point. I hope.
Thank for educating me about the -k. However, the -K option seems as if
it may be what is needed. Lets see. No, it doesn't find usbS0. No help
there IOW.
But it does find ttyS. In at least 10% of the pages. Thats less than
usefull.
Nice try, it did look promising. It also would take several hours to grep
the whole man tree.
