 Additionally, whatis(1) returns 0 if nothing appropriate was found.  It
 should return 1.  Apparently that would confuse 'man -k', so one way to
 do this would be:
 
 # man -k complains if exit_nomatch=1 and no keyword matched
 if expr "${0}" : ".*whatis" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
         exit_nomatch=1
 else
         exit_nomatch=0
 fi
 exit_error=2
