| Thought I'd step in here and make a Linux+ type question that is a little harder than what we been seeing. That, and I am bored. 
You want to read up about a particular command in the man pages but can't recall the command name. Which two commands can search for keywords in the command descriptions? (We will use mail here)
a. man mail
b. man -l mail
c. man -k mail
d. apropros mail
e. find / -name mail -print
f. search mail
g. man mail | grep mail
h. There is no such thing. | |

| b. man -l mail
c. man -k mail
if I remember what you told me correctly | |

| Wrong. Try again, prez. | |

| Only one person got it and that was "Jesus Christ"
The answers are C and D. man -k and apropros are the same. | |
