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
