Actually, the DWB documentation provided by AT&T in SVR3.2
(two books) and published by Prentice Hall does contain
the description of this command, and they have been substantially
changed and improved from what was the norm two years ago.

I still wouldn't call the books 'great' by any stretch of
the imagination, but they are a lot better.  They've made
some effort to include more examples, but they have a long
way to go yet.
