__alias apropos='apropos | grep -v "(3)"'__ does the same job, and is a little easier to undo when you happen to be programming and want those entries back.. --zcat(1)

+All the time! Whenever I'm programming in [C] or [C++] (or occasionally [Python] and [Perl], if calling libc functions from there). What better way to refresh your memory of the correct order of arguments for memset(3), or to find out which header files you need to #include if you want to call the inet_addr(3) function? Sure beats getting out of the chair and finding a reference book :) --JohnMcPherson
