Two new option <link linkend="opt-documentation.man.generateCaches">documentation.man.generateCaches</link>
has been added to automatically generate the <literal>man-db</literal> caches, which are needed by utilities
like <command>whatis</command> and <command>apropos</command>. The caches are generated during the build of
the NixOS configuration: since this can be expensive when a large number of packages are installed, the
feature is disabled by default.
