There's a man -k call, I haven't found an info -k equivalent.
Yes, there's a great calling for thankless man page writing in the *nix world.

Unfortunately, a lot of the documentation and FAQs are quite out of

Grrrrrrrrrrr, 1 of my *long time* complaints w/ Linux (any Linux,
apparently) is that nobody bothers to keep
man-pages/FAQS/other-documentation up to date. The cron(8) on my SuSE
9.2 P4 is dated 1996 (!!!). I lay this at the feet of the distro folks
myself, but none of them have taken it up :-) ....

I have tried to find tools to convert info pages to man, but no luck. I
*think* there are tex-to-man tools, but the tex data (from which info
documents normally come) isn't always installed .... The combination of
man & less is about the best text-based info system I could dream
up. Oh well ....<br>
