Neither. Basically it's a keyword search of man pages, that'll tell you
some commands that might help you out.

For instance, on my debian machine, 'apropos pdf', produces the following:

dvipdf (1)           - Convert TeX DVI file to PDF using ghostscript and dvips
gpdf (1)             - A GNOME Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer
gs-gpl (1)           - Ghostscript (PostScript and PDF language interpreter and previewer)
gsnd (1)             - Run ghostscript (PostScript and PDF engine) without display
pdf2dsc (1)          - generate a PostScript page list of a PDF document
pdf2ps (1)           - Ghostscript PDF to PostScript translator
pdfopt (1)           - Ghostscript PDF Optimizer
ps2ascii (1)         - Ghostscript translator from PostScript or PDF to ASCII
ps2pdf (1)           - Convert PostScript to PDF using ghostscript
ps2pdf12 (1)         - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.2 (Acrobat 3-and-later compatible) using ghostscript
ps2pdf13 (1)         - Convert PostScript to PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4-and-later compatible) using ghostscript
