man, apropos, info, db2 -?

Now You Know How He Knows What He Knew

A long time ago in a POSIX compliant OS far, far away there lived a man and this man was widely regarded for his knowledge. Never, did this man find himself without apropos info . Whether the question was about mounts or how to write a script this man had the answer. That is until one day when this man needed info apropos to the creation of an instance. What should he do?

Having worked previously with command line programs he quickly started jamming keys and pulling his hair. Frustated with the way things worked in his new world he set out to find someone, something, somewhere, where he could go and ask "how do I create an instance, or more specifically how do I ask how do I create an instance?" As he sat there randomly pressing keys trying to remember what he had once read about monkeys and typewriters the following sequence appeared on his screen:
