I’ve started reading the Bash Cookbook and came across the apropos command in bash. It’s a pretty neat and handy tool when you’re trying to find a specific command in the man pages. From what I’ve learned so far, it’s like using Ctrl + Shift + F to search within files, but for man pages. For example,

apropos network

This command will search through all the man page descriptions and show me any commands related to the word “network.” It’s really useful when you can’t remember the exact command.

Also, I found out it’s pronounced “ap-ruh-poh” 😄.
