But what if one doesn't remember the `apropos` command?
- koolba 6y agoThen you fire him and hire someone else.

- Annatar 6y agoThen that person is the wrong person for the job.
- weinzierl 6y agoapropos apropos if you forget that apropos apropos apropos Recursion solves every problem;-) More seriously: You can alias it to something you can remember, for example: alias help=apropos
- dredmorbius 6y ago'help' is already the shell's built-in help function in most cases. That'd be a poor choice of alias. There are a small number of seed keywords which are ueeful to know. 'help' (shell), 'apropos', 'man' (online manual), 'info' (GNU documentation), and dwww (local documentation presented through a Web interface, available on Debian-based Linux, see https://ostechnix.com/dwww-view-complete-debian-documentation-offline-via-web-browser/ https://ostechnix.com/dwww-view-complete-debian-documentatio...) are among them. Knowledge requires a certain baseline. If that's too much ... perhaps a GUI is in fact advisable.
- diffeomorphism 6y agoThe same thing if someone does not remember there is a right mouse button?
- lanna 6y agoIt's right there, in front of them, all the time
