This program provides command-line access to the PDL documentation.
If no flag is specified, -h is assumed.

-a (apropos) searches the documentation for the string
  -b (badinfo) does the function support bad values?
  -h (help)    prints the help for the function/module/document
  -s (sig)     prints the signature of the function
  -u (usage)   gives usage information on the function

pdldoc - shell interface to PDL documentation

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<pdldoc> <text>

=cut

B<pdldoc> [B<-a>] [B<-b>] [B<-h>] [B<-s>] [B<-u>] <text>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The aim of B<pdldoc> is to provide the same functionality
as the C<apropos>, C<help>, C<sig>, C<badinfo>,
and C<usage> commands available in the L<perldl|PDL::perldl>
and L<pdl2> shells.

Think of it as the PDL equivalent of C<perldoc -f>.

=item B<-s> sig

=item B<-u> usage

Prints usage information for a PDL function.

=item C<$PDL::Config{PDLDOC_IGNORE_AUTOLOADER}>
