catman [-M path]
[-T macro-package] [-pnw] [sections]

apropos(1) and whatis(1) commands.
The catman command accepts the following options:
- -p
- Prints the steps to be done instead of actually executing them.
- -n
- Inhibits the creation of windex databases.
- -w

determined by the same method used in man(1).
- -T macro-package
- Specifies the nroff macro package to be used instead of the default.
- /usr/local/heirloom/etc/default/man
- Configuration, as described in man(1).
