A wise man once told me, "Finding the right documentation is half the solution", so I decided to make this page, which includes the NAME section of every tool in FreeBSD base.
The table below is auto-generated using the following script:
PATH_DIRS="/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin" : ${srcpath:=/usr/src} echo > noman (cd ${srcpath} && \ find bin \ sbin \ usr.bin \ usr.sbin \ cddl \ contrib \ gnu \ -name Makefile \ | xargs grep -nE '\{BINDIR\}|PROG=' > ${OLDPWD}/src.txt \ ) for path in $PATH_DIRS; do printf 'inside `%s`, sorted alphabetically\n' "$path" for prog in `ls $path`; do src=$(grep -m1 -F -w "${prog}" src.txt | cut -d : -f 1 | sed -e 's/Makefile//') printf '||<5%%>[[%s|src]]' "https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/${src}" printf '||<40%%>' man $prog 2>>noman | col -bx | awk '/^NAME/{f=1;next};/^SYNO/{f=0};/^DESCR/{f=0};/^DEPR/{f=0};/^QUERY/{f=0};f;' | tr '\n' ' ' printf "||\n" done | sed -e 's/ - /||/' -e 's/ – /||/' -e 's/ -- /||/' -e 's/ */ /g' | sort -u done cat noman | sed -e 's/$/\n/'

Some utilities are AMD64-only, so regenerating this table might be a good idea
- Some paths are not found, so they point to the root of the source tree.
