whichman uses a fault tolerant approximate matching algorithm to search for man-pages that match approximately the specified name. The fault tolerant matching is very useful in cases where you remember only roughly the name of a command.
ftwhich finds files which are in one of the directories in your PATH and uses a fault tolerant search algorithm.
Example: whichman netwhat
This finds netstat.8: /usr/share/man/man8/netstat.8
