$ man -k kill    #(keyword)

$ apropos kill    #(similar to man -k)

$ info kill    #(info pages)

$ help kill   #(bash built-ins)

$ locate kill | grep /usr/share

- One of these usually finds more info than you ever wanted, some of it 
is even useful... if only there were more intelligent usage examples 
included in the man/info pages. That is usually when a web Search or 
Howto becomes necessary. The Intro to Linux Guide 
<hhttp://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_04_01.html> has some good 
tips on managing processes, top and kill.
