Name
       whatis - display command description

Syntax
       whatis command...

Description
       The command looks up a given command and gives the header line from the
       manual section.	You can then run the command to get more  information.
       If  the	line  starts  ``name(section)  ...''  you can do ``man section
       name'' to get the documentation for it.	Try ``whatis ed'' and then you
       should do ``man 1 ed'' to get the manual.

       The command is actually just the -f option to the command.
