[comp.unix.aux] The 'whatis' database

ciao,

I am looking for the magic that causes the rebuilding of the 'whatis' database.
The whatis(1) executable has an entry, but the file it uses (/usr/lib/whatis)
does not seem to be documented.

I know on other systems one does a catman -w, but catman does not seem to be
present on A/UX 2.0.  I have looked at 'whatis', 'apropos', and 'man'. trying
to track this down without success, I am sure this is simple, anyone?
