SYNOPSIS
icdman -k keyword
icdman [section] entry

-k  Search for keyword in file 'whatis'.

section
    Search only for manual entry in specified section.

DESCRIPTION
Icdman is a program that accesses information from the on-line ICD manual in a man(1)-like fashion.

With the -k option manual information can be searched for by keyword. Icdman prints out a one-line synopsis of each manual entry whose listing in the 'whatis' database contains keyword. The 'whatis' database can be created with catman(4ICD).

When the -k option is not specified icdman searches for a manual entry, specified by the title entry, and displays it on the terminal screen. If a section number is specified icdman looks in that section for entry. If section is omitted, icdman searches all sections of the on-line manual.

Help about the following sections is currently available:

sectionnr:	1. ICD related programs
	2. ICD utility programs
	3. ICD file formats
	4. ICD maintenance programs
	5. ICD subroutines and libraries

EXAMPLES
