Hi,
If you run 'whatis as' you will get "nothing appropriate" message. The
corresponding entry point in the database is:
GNU as(1), as(1) - description
that is not recognized by the whatis program. Same for the gunzip case:
gzip(1), gunzip(1) - description
and for some others lines in the database with garbage in:
curs_addch: f1(1), f2(1), ... - description
The whatis program should jump over ',' symbols: is there somebody speaking
perl language :-)
Note that some functions contain the minus '-' sign in their name that make
the parsing more difficult.
