Message-ID: <31933@ames.arc.nasa.gov> Date: 15 Sep 89 16:26:20 GMT Sender: usenet@ames.arc.nasa.gov Reply-To: gahooten@titan (Gregory A. Hooten) Distribution: usa Organization: NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. Lines: 11 I was trying to find a way to get all of the descriptor lines from the man pages in Unixa BSD 4.3. I know there is a function that allows the descriptor line from a chosen subject, but I want all subjects. I had a feeling that if I could get it to search for all vowels in the subject lines, then it would have to find all man entries, but have not found how to do this. Any help would be great.
