What is all this stuff?

Cool little tip I found while reading the fourth edtion of The Complete FreeBSD. Change directory into /bin and get a one line description of what all that stuff is:

$ cd /bin
$ man -f * |grep " - "

You can also use 'whatis' instead of 'man -f'. The grep gets rid of all the lines where there is "nothing appropriate" in the man files.
