Summary: DBTS 501835: check for the use of `uname` within man, apropos, whatis completions 
Distribution: None
Originally reported in: Debian BTS
Milestone: None
Original bug number: 501835


Initial Comment:
* Completion for the "man", "apropos", and "whatis" commands depends
  on a uname of GNU, Linux, Darwin, FreeBSD, SunOS, Cygwin, or
  OpenBSD.  This misses at least NetBSD, if not others.  This
  completion seems applicable to any system which has the appropriate
  commands.  Furthermore, the completion function itself makes
  assumptions about how to determine manpaths based on a subset of
  those unames.
