There is no indication that Gopal has read the 'man' pages or even
understands that they exist. I would expect that my response(s) will
invite Gopal's curiosity and that he will investigate this mysterious
'man' command.

The alternative is for someone to spend 20 minutes making precis of the
relevant 'man' pages and posting them.
