       pts_apropos - Displays each help entry containing a keyword string

SYNOPSIS

       pts apropos -topic <help string> [-help]

       pts ap -t <help string> [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The pts apropos command displays the first line of the online help
       entry for any pts command that has in its name or short description the
       string specified by the -topic argument.

       To display the syntax for a command, use the pts help command.

OPTIONS

       -topic <help string>
           Specifies the keyword string to match, in lowercase letters only.
           If the string is more than a single word, surround it with double
           quotes ("") or other delimiters.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
           are ignored.

OUTPUT

       describes its function. This command displays the first line for any
       pts command in which the string specified by the -topic argument is
       part of the command name or first line.
