[clug] Circumflex

[Bryan Kilgallin (iiNet)]

I was reading about manual section numbers. Then I came across '^'. 
Where is it explained?

You can tell what sections a term falls in with man -k (equivalent to 
the apropos command). It will do substring matches too (e.g. it will 
show sprintf if you run man -k printf), so you need to use ^term to 
limit it:
