The permuted index is surprisingly useful in this regard but isn't always t= here in manpage sources, you'd have to generate it. There are the technica= l memoranda too, starting with V6 those were distributed with the manpages = from what I know. Research and BSD kept them packed in to the end but USG = took them out starting with System V presumably to make more paper document= ation sales. The technical papers still hold a lot of value imo and render= much of the literature out there redundant. They're my preferred source o= f "how do I do xyz" even if 1000 books have been published on the same subj= ect. - Matt G.
