Re: how active the man -k (commnad )
description. It does not say what you did.
It does not say what happened when you did
it. Showing actual commands with their
actual output is often more helpful than
vague descriptions and interpretations.
> [...] my OS
Which is WHAT? "uname -a"?
man catman
Look for "-w".

Re: how active the man -k (commnad )
You can do:
# catman -m
...which creates the 'whatis' database for keyword searches and merges new, unformatted manpage information into it. In addition, manpage formatting is done. This gives faster access at the expense of a bit more storage (but then disk is cheap).
Regards!

man man
(which leads to "catman").

SolutionIf you want to run #man -k
you may need to create the index first. For that you need to run
#catman -w

Re: how active the man -k (commnad )
after you do catman -w you can see like this.
else you will get an error like "whatis" not found.
# man -k model
tpsshowmodel ("1m") - display X Printer model information
CIMUtil(1) - provides a set of CIM (Common Information Model) client operations
model(1) - print hardware model information
model(4) - HP-UX machine identification
psmsgen(1M) - model script configuration utility for psfontpf
