Hear hear.
However, I found it hard to interpret and so read the fine description
at the top of the page. Even then, the presentation in firefox 61.0.2-1
misleads because a larger vertical gap separates related functional
description from the following programs than those programs from the
next description.
┌ -l spool the output
│
│
└ groff: probably before groff-0.4 (before July 14, 1990)
┌ interpret arguments as file names
│
│
├ man: before man-2.2a7 (before Nov 16, 1994), OpenBSD 5.7 (Aug 30, 2014)
│
│
└ apropos, whatis, mandoc: OpenBSD 5.7 (Aug 30, 2014)
┌ do not trim output to the terminal width
│
│
└ apropos, whatis: man-db (Aug 19, 2007)
┌ only parse NAME sections
│
│
└ makemandb: NetBSD (Feb 7, 2012)
┌ legacy mode: search Nm,Nd, no context or formatting
│
│
└ apropos: NetBSD (March 29, 2013)
┌ list all manual pages matching name within the search path
│
│
└ man: illumos, Solaris 9-11
