Hello!

little_princess here, I am new in FreeBSD (and Unix-like in general) and was just asking myself :

How can I get a list (index) of all available manual entries (in a section) ??? It can't be that difficult, right? :\

I just like having an overview, and the fact, that I didn't manage to get such a rudimentary thing to work, kind of annoyed me...nevertheless, I really enjoy FreeBSD

Base system:
[cmd=]ls /usr/share/man/man*[/cmd]
Ports:
[cmd=]ls /usr/local/man/man*[/cmd]

(there's man1 thru man9 in both parts of the system)

The number indicates the man category, so
Code: 
mktemp.3.gz == man 3 mktemp
 
This is what I was looking for!

sounds wizard-like to me ;)
You can really do anything, with an OS like this!
The limit seem to be my skills...

I wonder how long it will take me to understand and control FreeBSD truly!?!
