I tend to fat finger apropos, so I user the man -k too.  Good to have when
you cant remember all the -options too.

Yeah, it's the same thing . . . but I can type "man -k" easier that
"apropos". =)

but it's a good trick to have in your toolbox.  It sucks trying to find
the tool that does something, but you can't remember it's name . .
